Want your dog to be a canine good citizen?
Then come to the Roseville Dog Owners’ Group’s Canine Good Citizen Clinic. While many organizations sponsor CGC tests, RDOG offers a CGC clinic to help you and your dog get ready for the test. Instructors will teach you and your pooch all the parts of the test. Attendance at both the clinic and the test is not required; however RDOG encourages all to enter both.
What is it? The purpose of the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Test is to demonstrate that the dog, can be a respected member of the community, and can be trained and conditioned always to behave in the home, in public places, and in the presence of other dogs in a manner that will reflect credit on the dog. The CGC Test is not a competitive program, but rather a program of certification; it seeks to identify and recognize officially those dogs that possess the attributes that enable them to serve effectively as personal companions and as members in good standing with the community. Mixed and purebred breeds are eligible to participate.
Why should your dog have a CGC certificate? Upon passing the CGC test, you may order a certificate showing your successful completion of the CGC program. By having the certificate, many hotels, and restaurants, will allow your dog to stay or visit their establishments that they would otherwise not allow.
You may also order dog tags, bandanas, and patches to let people know your pooch is a Canine Good Citizen!
What's on the test? To receive the CGC certificate, dogs take the 10 item Canine Good Citizen® Test. Items on the test include:
Test Item 1: Accepting a friendly stranger
Test Item 2: Sitting politely for petting
Test Item 3: Appearance and grooming
Test Item 4: Out for a walk (walking on a loose lead)
Test Item 5: Walking through a crowd
Test Item 6: Sit and down on command - staying in place
Test Item 7: Coming when called
Test Item 8: Reaction to another dog
Test Item 9: Reaction to distraction
Test Item 10: Supervised separation
The CGC Clinic will be on April 26th at 9 am at Kaseberg Park in Roseville. This gives dogs and their owners about three weeks to practice before taking the ten test items at the CGC Test. The CGC Test will then be on May 17th at
