Canine Good Citizen Tests
We offer the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test every 2 months on Tuesday evenings. This test is open to the public. Check our Calendar of Events each month for the dates and times. All dogs, purebred and mixed, are eligible to earn this award that indicates the dog has good social manners. The cost for the test is $10 cash. Be sure to bring your dog's brush and use a regular collar and leash. Our Basic Obedience/CGC classes can help you learn the necessary obedience exercises or polish up existing ones. For more info about CGC, go to the AKC's CGC web page.

About Us
The K-9 Obedience Club of Jacksonville, Inc. was founded in 1951 as a non-profit organization. Our main purpose is to provide a place for dog enthusiasts to train their dogs in obedience and to help others to do so.
To further our goals and objectives we offer training, lessons, seminars, and informational programs at our monthly club meetings, as well as a beautiful and safe area in which to train.
K-9 holds four AKC licensed Obedience Trials a year at our Jacksonville, FL Training Center.
The First Coast Dog Obedience Club holds UKC Trials at our site in the Fall and the Spring, two weeks before the AKC trials.
Our Match Committee holds Obedience and Rally Show-n-Go's (Fun Matches) at our facility every month. See the Show-n-Go for details.
