Welcome to our AKC VHM Certification Courses, here you can find our Preparation Courses from home and obtain your first AKC Certification (VHM) from the comfort of your own home and begin your journey of responsible dog parenting. Parents enrolled in one of our school programs can access tutorial videos and self-study materials in preparation to their corresponding AKC exams, a great compliment to the existing in-person parent classes.

Show off the training that you have done with your puppy or adult dog at home. And earn the AKC’s Virtual Home Manners titles to demonstrate your accomplishments!

​

What is Virtual Home Manners?

Virtual Home Manners (VHM) is the answer when you want to train your dog at home. When you get a puppy or new adult dog, Virtual Home Manners can get you started on practical skills before you attend a training class.

The Virtual Home Manners tests assess ten skills that well-mannered pet dogs need in the home setting.  The skills relate to the dog owner having control over the dog, being able to walk the dog (which is one of the most frequently cited activities that owners want to do with their dogs) and developing a bond with the dog during playtime. 

​

The Virtual Home Manners tests are evaluated online by our CGC Evaluator. There is not an in-person VHM testing process. Virtual Home Manners is natural lead-in for AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy and Canine Good Citizen (CGC) in-person training.
