How does a dog get a Canine Good Neighbour (or equivalent) Certificate?
The Canine Good Neighbour (CGN), Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certificates are issued to a dog and handler who pass a series of ten (10) tests. This ensures that the dog has a minimum level of training and the handler can demonstrate reasonable handling skills in realistic everyday activities. The tests are offered by some obedience classes, breed clubs, obedience clubs, etc. For more information please contact local dog training schools, kennel clubs or for more information relative to their CCGC program contact HABAC (Human Animal Bond Association of Canada at habac@istar.
