AKC Canine Good Citizen
The CGC test consists of 10 skills needed by all well-mannered dogs. All of the exercises are done on a leash. Some therapy dog groups require the CGC as a prerequisite for therapy work and a number of state legislatures have endorsed the CGC concept.

ITEM 1-Accept a Friendly Stranger
ITEM 2-Sit Politely For Petting
ITEM 3-Appearance and Grooming
ITEM 4-Out for a Walk (on a Loose Leash)
ITEM 5-Walk Through a Crowd
ITEM 6-Sit and Down/Stay in Place
ITEM 7-Come When Called
ITEM 8-Reaction to Another Dog
ITEM 9-Reaction to Distractions
ITEM 10-Supervised Separation 

Rally
For Novice AKC Rally, there is a requirement of 10-15 stations (with no more than 5 stationary exercises). Each station has a sign providing instructions regarding the skill to be performed. All exercises are performed on-leash. Learn the Novice level signs and do a full course.

The main objective of Rally is to produce dogs that have been trained to behave in the home, in public places, and in the presence of other dogs.

Nose Work
Nose Work is a new dog sport that allows your dog to use his natural ability to detect scent and determine its source.
