This module lasts four weeks and is priced at $140 via Venmo or Zelle, or $145 if paid by credit card. “How to Speak Dog” is a prerequisite for this module.
AKC CANINE GOOD CITIZEN (CGC)
Since its inception in 1989, the Canine Good Citizen program has set the standard for what it means to have a well-behaved dog. Every training module at Lisa’s Nosy Puppers Dog Training is designed to prepare you for this essential class and the subsequent examination.
To achieve the title of Canine Good Citizen, you and your furry friend will need to successfully complete ten evaluations that focus on various skills such as handling, obedience, loose leash walking, and the ability to engage politely with other handlers and their dogs, along with maintaining long-distance stays.
The course extends over six weeks and costs $250 (which covers the examination fee) when paid through Venmo or Zelle, or $258 if using a credit card, though please note that this does not include the AKC registration fee. Prior to enrolling, participants must complete the “How to Speak Dog” course.

As you both learn to navigate the intricacies of therapy work, you will foster a meaningful bond rooted in empathy and connection, preparing you to thrive in diverse environments.
While not every dog possesses the temperament to become a therapy dog, any dog can participate in this enriching class, which emphasizes the importance of human-dog interactions and emotional intelligence. The course fee is $210 through Venmo or Zelle, or $217 with a credit card, and please note that certification exams will be arranged through a therapy dog organization of your choice at an additional cost.
