Canine Good Citizen

There is a lot of things we can do with our bully breeds but one thing we all should consider doing to better the image of our breeds is to get them CGC.

 
I will be posting 2 steps a t a time over the next few days.

 
1: Accepting A friendly stranger

 
  • The Dog must show no sign of resentment, aggression, or shyness
  • The dog may not jump on or rush to the evaluator to initiate contact. The dog may not lunge forward to greet the evaluator
  • The dog should be under control throughout the exercise. If the handler must use excessive correction to control the dog, the dog should not pass the exercise.

2: Sitting Politely For Petting

 
  • The dog must show no signs of shyness or resentment
  • As the evaluator begins to pet the dog, the dog may stand to receive petting
  • The dog may not struggle and pull away to avoid petting
  • The dog may move slightly forward to receive petting, but should not lunge at the evaluator or rush or jump forward.
  • The dog may appear to be happy about the contact with the evaluator and may have some body movements
  • The dog should appear to be under control throughout the exercise
