The AKC Community Canine program is all about ensuring you have a well-behaved dog while you’re out and about in the community. Where CGC happens in a simulated environment, the 10-step AKC Community Canine test is conducted in real life situations—like walking on a busy sidewalk or through a local park–giving you and your dog the confidence to enjoy everyday to the fullest, no matter what comes your way.

Fit dog club meets every Saturday at 9am by Devoy playground in Forest Park, Forest Hills. It’s a 2 1/2 mile hike around the park following most of the horse trail. When we see distractions such as horses, other dogs or runners - all dogs are to move to the right side of the trail, sit and wait for the distraction to pass. I’m a positive dog trainer so there are no choke, prong, or shock collars allowed and all dogs must be on a standard leash in your control - no retractable leashes!! Bring treats and plenty of water, be aware everyone there is working on something with their dog. It is a judgement free zone where everyone is learning. Always ask before approaching others with your dog and when saying hello keep it short and sweet! There is more to Socializing than just playtime. There is no cost for Fit Dog Club. Follow along on social media, it will always be posted there (by Friday afternoon) in the stories whether or not Fit Dog Club is happening!
AKC Urban CGC requires that the dog demonstrate CGC skills and beyond in a setting that includes traffic, crowds, noises, smells and other distractions that are present in a city or town. As with Canine Good Citizen, AKC Urban CGC is a 10-step test of skills that dogs must pass to earn the official AKC Urban CGC title. This is a title that appears on the dog’s title record at AKC.
AKC Urban CGC is a public access test that demonstrates dogs are well-behaved and well-trained when in public settings.
Requirements:
To earn the AKC Urban CGC (CGCU) title, dogs must meet the following two requirements:
1. Must already have a Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certificate or title on record at AKC. If the CGC and CGCU are tested on the same day, both forms should be sent in the same envelope to AKC so that the CGC can be applied to the dog’s record first.
2. Must have an AKC number of one of 3 types (AKC registration number, Purebred Alternative Listing (PAL) number, or AKC Canine Partners number). All dogs, including mixed breeds, can get an AKC number. The reason for the AKC number requirement is that this is how we create titles at AKC; we attach the titles to the dog’s number.
