Toby the Puppy Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Yesterday Toby had his CGC test and he passed with flying colours. I had even considered pulling out because I didn't think he was ready yet but felt we could both learn a lot by doing it anyways. He went into that place and showed off like some kind of highly trained obedient dog I do feel like a bit of a fraud though because he snapped at my hand earlier in the day when I was trying to brush him (he dislikes being groomed especially around the butt) and had he done that during the test it would have been an automatic fail. I was so proud none the less because he was the only dog in his group that passed and some were on their second and third tries. I couldn't get over how poorly behaved some of those dogs were!

haleigh Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Very good! CGC awards are very proud-making! Sorry, not a real word or anything, but... I think the only thing Joy couldn't do is supervised separation...she whines if she's out of the the same room as me for more then 5 minutes! For the grooming: does the dog have to be in a stand? I heard it's to the evaluators discretion, but I'm not so sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue R Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Canine Good Citizen - it's an AKC certificate a dog can earn for demonstrating a number of good socialization behaviors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle K Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Congratulations! Makes you feel so proud, doesn't it? I want to get Nykie tested. I have 2 out of 5 of the dogs now CGC awarded. Gotta get the others done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby the Puppy Posted October 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Haleigh: He was sitting while she groomed him. She also ran her hands over him, looked in his ears and lifted and examined his paws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
