Canine Good Neighbour Test

Wascana Dog Club held the CKC Canine Good Neighbour test on Saturday January 15^th. The exercises are designed to emphasize your dogs willingness to accept strange situations and people with calm quiet confidence. The dogs must politely accept patting and being brushed, wait while you stop to greet someone and before going through an open door, stay at the end of a leash, come when called, pass by another dog and through crowds of noisy people, stay with someone else and calmly accept all manners of equipment people use (strollers, bikes, crutches, skateboards, etc.) If they can accomplish all of this without jumping up, barking or lunging they pass the CGN.
The day was a great success thanks to Jill’s organization and the involvement of many members of the club. Jill’s parting words – “If you evaluated, cleaned, participated, volunteered, brought props, tried to do the hula, or made lunch – you know who you all are, and thank you! Congratulations to the teams who passed their CGN today.”
