CGN entry form

The Bytown Dog Obedience Club offers classes to prepare your companion for the CGN test, go to our classes page to see the schedule.

The CGN Test must take place in a busy public area such as a shopping mall, hotel or community centre lobby NOT a regular dog training hall. Vaccination certificate, municipal license, grooming tool, plastic bag, leash with a plain buckle collar are required for this test. A dog straining on its lead, or touching anyone with teeth or feet is unacceptable, and therefore a failure

Test Items:

• Accepting a friendly stranger: a key in good neighbour relations with adults and children. Owner shakes hands with a friendly stranger.
• Patiently sitting for petting: a test for shyness and resentment.
  
• Appearance and grooming: owner's care and sense of responsibility show in how he keeps his dog.
  
• Out for a walk: illustrates handler's control of the dog.
  
• Walking through a crowd: shows that the dog moves around in a crowd without being unduly distressed and is under handler control.
  
• Commands: sit, down, stay and come: this illustrates that the dog has been trained and responds well to its owner/handler.
  
• Praise/interactions: shows the dog's relationship with its owner and can be calmed down easily.
• Reaction to passing dogs: this test demonstrates that the dog behaves politely around other dogs.
• Distractions: shows that the dog is confident when faced with common distractions.
  
• Supervised isolation: this test shows that the dog can be left with someone other than its usual handler and will maintain its training and good manners.
  
• Good manners are expected at all times. Any dog that jumps up on a person, lunges at another dog or displays unruly behaviour is automatically disqualified.

BDOC's next CGN test: May 6, 201
