Can't wait to hear of your adventures. :)
CONGRATULATIONS ROXEY!!! :) :)
WOW! That's GREAT news Roxie!! :D What a wonderful, heart-warming service you will provide! My dad is in a nursing home and I've seen the most touching reactions from very ill patients, when they stroke your soft fur and see your smiling face. I know you'll make everyone very very happy. Just tell mommy to bring some tissues and try not to cry too much (but a proud cry!!);) :)
Yay, Roxey!!!!!!!!! My Star just recently passed her CGC, so I know what an achievement that is, and how proud your Mommy is!!! You are the perfect pup to put a smile on the faces of those who need a little cheer and furry love!:) We are all SO proud of you beautiful Roxey!!

CGC is a certification program that is designed to reward dogs who have good manners at home and in the community. The Canine Good Citizen Program is a two-part program that stresses responsible pet ownership for owners and basic good manners for dogs. All dogs who pass the CGC test receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club and are automatically recorded in the AKC's Canine Good Citizen Archive. You do not need to have a purebred dog in order to get this certification.Quote:

Evaluators must pass AKC criteria in order to test a owner and their dog. There are 10 steps the handler and dog are tested for. They are:
1: Accepting a friendly stranger
2: Sitting politely for petting
3: Appearance and grooming
4: Out for a walk (walking on a loose lead)
5: Walking through a crowd
6: Sit and down on command - staying in place
7: Coming when called
8: Reaction to another dog
9: Reaction to distraction
10: Supervised separation
My Dusty got his CGC when he was only 6 months old! If your dog has basic manners then sign them up! You will receive a certificate suitable for framing so you tell the world your pup is a CANINE GOOD CITIZEN!
Congratulations Roxey! You did a great job! Now you can go lots of places and do lots of exciting things. We are so proud of you.!
