The Canine Good Citizen Test - I Love It

Luna and Foster are so great. I know it. I live it. Everyone should think her dogs are the best dogs in the world, and I love when my neighbors, or people at the park, notice that I honestly do have the best dogs. Sometimes, the CGC test comes up and I often hear, "Oh, my dog can do all of that already!" Sometimes it's obvious that that statement is completely untrue, but regardless, I think people underestimate the unique experience of being tested as a team.

Test conditions include a new environment and all its smells, sights and sounds, new people, new dogs, new distractions and you, probably stressed. The CGC is a test of more than just the tasks you have to complete. It's a test of the strength of your relationship. I love it. I think it's great.
