    Started in 1989, CGC is a certification program that is designed to reward dogs who have good manners at
    home and in the community. The Canine Good Citizen Program is a two-part program that stresses responsible
    pet ownership for owners and basic good manners for dogs.

    All dogs who pass the 10-step CGC test may receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club.
