CGC :-)

How did I forget to mention this?

I'd been having a hard time finding a CGC test for Laev, because the person who seems to run them most often around here is me.  I drove to a test in another city only to arrive minutes after it closed!  So Laev had not been tested.

We met a great guy (Kevin England) at ClickerExpo, though, who mentioned during conversation that he was an evaluator.  He offered to do the test right there!  So I handed him Laev's leash and walked into the store area for the supervised separation.  Then, there in the hotel hallway, we ran through the rest of the test.  It was a good testing environment; instead of the 3-4 people required for walking through a crowd, we had a hundred, exiting a popular session!  And Laev finally got her CGC.

Canine Good Citizen

Oops! I should have clarified. The CGC (Canine Good Citizen test) is a very basic manners test, offered by the AKC, to demonstrate that a dog is safe and mannerly in public. You can see an outline at http://www.akc.org/events/cgc/training_testing.cfm .
