Good Citizens

Ahh, misting fan is perfect for hot CGC tests! 

Our annual summer Canine Good Citizen test was last weekend. It was a great success! We had plenty of fabulous people come to act as the milling crowd, to provide dogs (for both the reaction to another dog test and for the milling crowd test), to hold dogs for the supervised separation, to check people in and just to help set the yard up for the hustle of Saturday mornings! The picture above shows the pre-CGC walk through to get everyone on the same page and let the helpers pick their jobs.

When 9:00 am rolled around, there was already a line of dogs waiting to sign up. We were happy to see so many Applewoods students give the test a try. Before we started testing, we had Rugby demonstrate the test items so they could see how the test was being run. Our photographer was working hard and got some great shots of the CGC test in action. A sampling of the pictures are below.

 

This was our largest Canine Good Citizen test yet! Thank you very much to everyone who came to help, and to everyone that came to test their dogs. We will be having another test later in the fall. Stay tuned.
