Congratulations to my March Canine Good Citizenship Graduates!

Dear Sophie, Penny, Caliber, Little Penny, and Sasha,

I hope you’re as excited as I am about passing your Canine Good Citizen Evaluation! This is a great way to reach out to your community and let people know that with Positive Training, dogs can be good citizens too!

You all sat politely for petting, stayed when asked, came when called, were not bothered by the loud distractions, had great emotional control when greeting a new dog, walked nicely on a loose leash, and were not afraid when your handlers went out of sight for 3 minutes! Yippee, Bow Wow, Woof Woof!!

I can't help but brag about your Handlers accomplishments as well! They were all positive, had you groomed, used clear body movements so you knew what to do, clearly taught you to sit, down, stay and come when asked all while rewarding you with lot's of verbal praise!
