TRAIN YOUR BEST FRIEND!

Your dog needs to know the

rules of the house in order

to become part of the

family circle and to bond

with its master. Dogs,

by nature are pack animals

with a well defined social

order. When you train your

dog, you assume the alpha

role (pack leader),

the dog's master. It is not

cruel to train a dog. It is

actually unkind to deprive

it of the discipline it would

receive from its pack

leader. Every dog is

different. Some are

hyperactive, others laid-

back. A few are shy and

need more self confidence,

while others are

overconfident. Some are

silly and have some

common behavior

patterns such as jumping

up on people, digging,

barking, chewing,

mouthing and so on.

Learning the basic

commands  sit, stand,

down, walk at heel on

leash, come and stay are

essential for the dog to

become an enjoyable, well

mannered companion.

CANINE GOOD CITIZEN® CERTIFICATION TEST

GOLDEN VALLEY KENNEL CLUB  offers Canine Good Citizen® Certification tests annually. See the EVENTS PAGE for time and date of the next test.

The CGC is far all dogs, purebred and mixed breeds. It ids a one time pass or fail set of
ten tests demonstrating confidence and control. This test of your dog's manners and training is not a competition, and does not require that you and you dog perform with
precision.

All dogs passing the test are awarded a certificate from the American Kennel Club stating
they are a "Canine Good Citizen".
