Canine Good Citizen Test

The Canine Good Citizen Test is an esteemed program for dog owners seeking to demonstrate their pet's exemplary behavior and manners. Scheduled for December 12, 2025, at the scenic Cornerstone Park in Henderson, Nevada, this event offers an opportunity for dogs and their handlers to participate in a globally recognized assessment of their obedience and social skills. Starting at 6:30 PM, participants can engage in either the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test or the more advanced Canine Good Citizen Advanced (CGCA) test—or both within the same evening. This event is ideal for dedicated dog caregivers who wish to establish their pets as model companions in various environments.

Attendees can expect a structured and supportive testing atmosphere with professional trainers present to handle distraction dogs, creating real-world scenarios for testing a pup's composure. The cost of participation is $20 per test, with cash or Venmo as accepted forms of payment, and prospective participants are advised to arrive early since space is limited. Dogs are required to wait in their vehicles or a designated area away from the test site until it is their turn, ensuring a calm and organized setting. Volunteers play a crucial role in the event, contributing to the test environment by forming crowds essential for certain test components. With its focus on encouraging responsible pet ownership and fostering well-mannered dogs, this event promises an enriching experience for both pets and their owners.
