AKC CGC/TDI Testing
Several times a year GPDFA conducts AKC Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dogs International testing. Certified testers test dogs in very basic obedience (sit, stay, down, come, walking politely on a lead), tolerance to handling by strangers, behavior in crowds and near other dogs, and separation from the owner. Certified Therapy Dogs are welcome in many hospitals and nursing homes as visitors for the sick and lonely. For our next scheduled CGC/TDI Test, please contact us.
