How can I train my dog to be a Canine Good Citizen?
To train your dog to be a Canine Good Citizen, you should start with basic obedience training, such as "sit," "stay," and "come." You'll also need to work on your dog's socialization skills, teach them to be well-behaved in public places, and practice obedience skills in real-world situations. A certified Canine Good Citizen trainer can help guide you through the process and prepare you and your dog for the certification test.

Rally-O, also known as Rally-Obedience, is a dog sport that combines elements of traditional obedience with a course of designated stations that require certain skills to be performed at each one.
