Our comprehensive program spans over twenty (20) days, during which you drop off your dog in the morning and pick them up in the evening two to five days a week.

AKC Canine Good Citizen Program
Beach For Dogs and the AKC believes that all dogs can be good dogs, and all owners can be great owners: all it takes is a little bit of training, lots of love, and of course, plenty of praise along the way.
That's why they created the Canine Good Citizen™️ (CGC) program: a two-part course designed to help you and your dog be the best you can be-together. Since 1989, over 1 million dogs and their owners have participated in CGC, mastering ten basic skills that instill confidence and good manners in and out of your home.
Not only does CGC training create long-lasting trust between you and your pup, but also ensures you'll be good neighbors and friends to everyone around you-and, if you're interested in going beyond the basics, CGC also lays the foundation for other AKC sports and activities like obedience, agility, tracking, and performance events.
CGC is a ten-skill training program that's open to all dogs-purebred and mixed breed-that focuses on teaching the basics of good manners and obedience, instilling the values of responsible ownership, and strengthening the bond between you and your dog at home and out in the community.
After mastering the ten skills, passing the CGC test together, and taking the Responsible Dog Ownership pledge, you and your pup will join the proud ranks of over 1 million dogs who have earned their Canine Good Citizen award- accomplishment that's definitely worthy of extra belly rubs!
