We started training a full year ago, and then got sidetracked with one doggy event or another, and never did get around to testing Paisley for her CGN, aka the CKC's Canine Good Neighbor program. One quick tune-up at All Bright Dogs last week, and I decided to enter her in the test this weekend at the Alberta Kennel Club show.
The CGN is a series of 12 different things to test a dog's good behavior in public situations, i.e. heeling through a crowd with distractions (in this case, an umbrella and someone with a walker), accepting a friendly stranger, sitting nicely while the human does a meet n' greet with another human whose dog is also sitting nicely, having a well groomed appearance and accepting someone brushing them, looking at their ears, picking up their paws, etc., a recall, a brief stay, and then a 3-minute out-of-sight stay.
Although her nice heeling work looked more like a waddle (at 8 weeks' pregnant) she passed the rest with flying colors and once again made me very proud. And with the big tummy and lack of energy at this stage, I didn't have to worry too much about her jumping up on the evaluator!
Congratulations to CH Casselcreek Vintage Paisley CGN.
