Well done Dexter and Leslie....glad all your hard work paid off!

newdoodler2 · 02-22-2009, 04:48 PM

that's so awesome! I want to do that with oshie. he's so well behaved and laid back for his age that I think he would pass. He definitely needs more training because we just started but his temperment is amazing!

Wonderful!! Congrats!!

Congratulations!

Did you take a class or just go for the test?

I've been wanting to find a refresher obedience class for Charlie that is CGC oriented with the test as the final exam. Unfortunately, Wayne has kept me too busy so far.

We took the Advanced class at Petsmart and the goal is the CGC test. The class was good - we worked on more than just the test and worked to incorporate the test elements into real word (i.e. did the elements inside Petsmart). You don't have to take a class, but it really helped us.

The part that has me most impressed is that Dexter made 100% improvement in sitting nicely when greeted.

One thing that shocked me is that Dexter was by far the oldest dog in the class. The other dogs were 9-12 months old. I would have never felt Dex was ready for that at 1 yr, but I guess every dog is different.

I think we have a little way to go with Kirby before I'd attempt the CGC class. He is really well behaved in public on his gentle leader, however off the gentle leader he is a bit out of control

Maybe in some time...he's made so much progress in just over a year...I think he just has a bit more to go first.

Congratulations to Dexter, CGC! It is always impressive to earn some letters after your name. You make all us doodles proud!

Good work, Leslie!
