Scheduled to take a CGC Saturday and discovered one requirement was not reacting to a distraction. Reading the item requirement I noticed that the dog cannot react to a crate dolly. We have allowed barking at rakes, brooms, vacuums, wheelbarrels and of course dollys. What if the evaluater brings these items (or worse, what if he brings a whip). Might not be a good thing for a PP dog to be deemed a bad citizen. Should we: a) skip the test b) stop that attacking of such items (compulsion) c) risk taking the eval and hope they don't use anything that triggers prey drive. Any advise greatly appreciated.
Been a while since I did this, but I don't believe you get a failure slip. If the dog doesn't pass you can try again.(don't take my word, dog passed first time around so I really don't know)
What you need to do is work on a leave it, or out, or off command. I have a vacuum nut and know how hard this can be to do, but a few good corrections will save you the worry.
Sad to say but it is best to teach this now anyway. If you are training a PP dog you will at some point run into a fedex or UPS man with a dolly. Just because the dog has good prey drive doesn't mean it can be disobedient.
Yes, it is the AKC Canine Good Citizen. It is a basic temperment and obedience test with very loose rules. If you look on the AKC site they list the possible excercizes.
