On Saturday January 14th, 2012 Sophie and I headed out to Richmond Hill to participate in the Canine Good Neighbour (CGN) test that was being offered at 4 Paws Training .The CGN is a title that is offered by the Canadian Kennel Club to all dogs, mixed or purebred that successfully complete all 12 exercises in the evaluation. It is designed to assess the relationship between the dog and handler and how they behave together in situations that mimic everyday life. You can read more about this test here CGN Program - Exercise Description
I highly recommend that all dog owners work towards mastering these 12 steps with their canine companions. You and your dog will have fun together working towards these goals and in the process you’ll strengthen your bond with one another and set a good example for other pooches and owners in your community.
Thanks to our evaluator, Lorraine Wilson at 4 Paws Training for helping us to feel comfortable the minute we walked through the door. She carefully went over all of the exercises with the participants making sure we understood what was required and her calm demeanor during the testing helped to put all of the participants at ease.
Happily Sophie is now CH Neigenuveaux Fleur D’Northrock WC CGN*
*pending CKC confirmation
Congratulations to you both! It is a great title to have.
