CGC... Any dogs have it?

[lv4dogs]

Nanook & Raustyk both have their CGC, Kaige will too once my finances allow it. My dogs are all pretty obedient and Raustyk completed 3 obedience classes before taking the test, Nanook was never in a class, I just trained him by myself. They both passed with flying colors.

As long as your dog is obedient and is social & used to diffrent environments/people/situations you should have no problem. If you have any doubts I'd enroll into an obedience class to refresh the dogs & your skills right before you take the test.

Here's AKC's link with some more info: http://www.akc.org/events/cgc/training_testing.cfm

I forgot to mention that some places require your dog to be CGC certified as well as TD (Therapy dog) certified to enter a certain nursing home, school, hospital, etc...

If you are seriously interested in doing therapy work with your dog it is always best to contact the places you wish to assist and see what their requirements are.

I added a link that explains the full test if you need to know that. Have fun training!!!

Good Idea. We did a handicapp home before and she really enjoyed that, but I would like to be more with elders.
