Tonight our girl Sparkle made us very proud! Without having to do the classes, I was able to have her tested for the AKC Canine Good Citizen award, the Novice Trick award, along with the Intermediate Trick award. She passed all three!
There were 10 foundation behaviors for the CGC award and since she passed that, she only had to do 5 novice tricks. She is able to do 11 out of 21. The intermediate test has 34 different tricks and she is able to do about 11-12 of those (a couple need more practice to be consistent). Tester forgot to bring the Intermediate ribbons with her.
We love our girl and are very proud of her! Good job Sparkle!
Next...Therapy dog testing!
