This week we're wrapping up our series on preparation for the Canine Good Citizen examination. Below I'm sharing a video they produced as an example of an ideal test. Just between us I'd like you to know that the environment in your test may not be as controlled as what you see in the video. Neither will the examiner be as accommodating. That said, things happen! Keep the AKC's words in mind:
"If you and your dog do not pass it is not a failure
but an indication of where you and your dog need more work"
