Life in the city moves fast—and so should your dog’s skills.
We’re talking taxis, skateboards, sirens, people juggling lattes while walking six different directions.
For city pups, every block is an obstacle course.
And if your dog can’t handle it?
You’re both in for some leash-tangling chaos.
Enter: Urban Dog Skills—the ultimate training upgrade for four-legged city slickers.
This isn’t your grandma’s “sit and stay” routine.
Urban training is all about real-world savvy: crossing streets calmly, ignoring that chicken wing on the sidewalk (you hope), and not losing their fluffy minds every time a skateboard zips by.
It’s like turning your dog into a cool-headed commuter with paws.
Think your pooch is ready?
The American Kennel Club’s Urban Canine Good Citizen (CGCU) test is the gold standard. It’s the post-grad degree of obedience training.
We’re talking walking through crowds without a meltdown, waiting politely at crosswalks, and—yes—even behaving in a pet-friendly café. (No barking at the barista, please.)
And let’s not forget the biggest win: confidence.
Urban-trained dogs are calmer, happier, and less likely to bolt into traffic chasing a pigeon.
You’ll both walk taller (and probably get a few nods of approval from fellow dog-loving pedestrians).
So if your pup’s mastered the basics and you’re ready for next-level cool, it’s time to hit the sidewalks—with a purpose.
Because in the city that never sleeps, your dog should never skip training.
