You are such a good boy and while it's nice to have those letters behind your name, you don't need to show what a sweet, loving boy you are!<br /><br />Levi took the test and failed because he sniffed food on the floor instead of coming when called. In retrospect, I don't think he deserves to be a CGC without extensive training because of some of his stranger issues. And since Neptune is our second child, he was neglected on the training front. Luckily, he's a good boy on his own.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14310521653862222270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-47926050429771832572012-07-03T22:41:44.341-05:002012-07-03T22:41:44.341-05:00Way to go Mr. B!

Abby did the full training class, while I just went in one day (about a week after Abby passed hers), and took the test and passed. (<i>Mom says it's because she ALWAYS works with us both together, so I was doing everything Abby had to do to pass the test, and I was in another doggie class at the same time, so I was pretty prepared.</i>) Abby was very lucky that her test group was the same as her training group, and Mom spend a lot of time with her to get her ready for the test. We still do lots of training, and there are days when Mom jokes (I <b>think</b> she's joking) that if we behaved the way we do now for the test, we would have failed! Luckily our instructor always responds that she won't take back the certificates because we are still working on things! :-D<br /><br />Congratulations again, Mr. B! That is a huge accomplishment!<br /><br />*kissey face*<br />-Fiona and Abby the HippobottomusLucy-Fur, as typed by Dr. Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00623314618386797524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-73157119470758308432012-07-02T09:47:29.812-05:002012-07-02T09:47:29.812-05:00Congrats Mr. B! :-)Congrats Mr. B! :-)Trissi_Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700257592539573074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-17633173496337135372012-07-02T09:12:56.033-05:002012-07-02T09:12:56.033-05:00That is so awesome!

The test doesn't expect a dog to ignore many other dogs misbehaving in a crowded area. My understanding is that the test only requires a dog to behave and ignore one other dog during a friendly greeting between the owners, so I'm surprised the instructor permitted that. <br /><br />So Mr B was SPECIAL.. but then, his fans already knew that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-6951247348065889802012-06-29T09:27:35.128-05:002012-06-29T09:27:35.128-05:00Congratulations, Mr. B!

At ACS we have switched to the C.L.A.S.S. (Canine Life and Social Skills) evaluations for our training class curriculums. Nala came as close as you can to passing the Bachelor Level test (there are three levels) without actually passing it, we will be retaking it later this year!<br /><br />Congrats to Mr. B!!SherBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15747920430505301191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-22249704181107852192012-06-29T09:14:40.401-05:002012-06-29T09:14:40.401-05:00Wow!

It was a great joy and a lot of work. Unruly boy wasn't so unruly anymore.<br /><br />Your test was very different than ours. Our Trainer/Behaviorist would have kicked that dog out and failed it for the behaviors he/she was displaying even before the actual test on testing day. All the dogs were tested one by one with other dogs waiting outside the testing areas. Interesting how different the testing was.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-90319621845427647242012-06-29T09:05:33.409-05:002012-06-29T09:05:33.409-05:00Congratulations Mr. B!!!!

We were taking a basic obedience class, and on the last day, our trainer, who also happened to be a CGC evaluator, asked me if I wanted to have Lucy tested right then and there. We did it, and we passed! It was sort of amazing. Now, when we foster dogs, we strive to get them certified as CGCs as well. And with Bully Project, we host CGC Testing Events - at the last one, we certified 7 dogs, and 6 of them were pitties!
