In collaboration with Spectrum Generations Coastal Community Center, The Lincoln Home hosts
Professional Dog Trainer, Jean Conte for 6 weeks beginning April 8 at 6:30pm.
Domestic dog training classes for responsible dog owners teach the owner how to train the dog while showing people how to ensure their dog becomes a great lifetime companion. Dogs and their owners are identified and rewarded for the training and demeanor to be reliable family members. Canine Good Citizen certification ensures that man’s best friend can be a respected member of the community because the dog is trained to be well mannered at home, in public, and around other dogs. The last day of class, dogs and their owners will be tested and those passing assessment gain a nationally recognized AKC Canine Good Citizen Certificate. Some examples of basic aspects tested includes:
1. Appearance and grooming
2. Food manners
3. Accepting friendly strangers
4. Walking in a controlled manner with distractions and through people.
5. Remaining calm while tied up
6. Control around other dogs.
Canine Good Citizen is for any dog, large or small, who has a responsible owner. Taking Jean’s CGC training is your opportunity to take the first steps towards making sure your dog is a respected and welcome community member.
