Congratulations to our most recent Urban Canine Good Citizens (AKC CGCU)!

The CGCU test is intended for the dog and handler to show off how to behave appropriately in a noisy environment, take transportation, and exhibit calm building manners. While Des Moines lacks a subway, tram, skyscrapers and a largely pedestrian mode of transportation getting from point A to point B - CGCU class is still a great way to practice great public behavior.
