AKC CGC test
two rescues pass!
date: 2008-07-15 (609 days ago)
dogs: Harley, Judo, Keowee, Sarge/Bob/Calder
Klondike Canine Academy offered AKC Canine Good Citizen testing tonight and I said that I'd use whatever time was available at the end to run some of the rescue dogs. I haven't done any formal work with most of them and I've been too busy to prepare recently but I wanted to get an idea of how close they were.
Harley was first. He was wonderful as usual and did a great job at everything...except the stay. He kept getting up to come to me. That surprised me, especially because I knew he was hot and tired. It'll be easy to teach that though.
Bob was next and I thought he'd be a little nutty but he did fine. He passed!
Since I had just brought Keowee back to the kennel I decided to try him. Another pass! He was surprisingly good.
I was prepared for utter failure with Judo but he surprised me too. He did much better than I expected but still failed the stay and he also bumped someone with his nose when walking through the crowd. It will be easy to train for those.
I was delighted by how well all the dogs did and amazed that Bob and Keowee passed. Good dogs!
