Bytown Dog Obedience
Club (outdoors)

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.
