Canine Good Citizen was introduced long back in 1989 by American Kennel Club aka AKC with an aim to provide a framework of good behavior to the dog parents. The framework has simple criteria that can be easily taught to any dog by the dog parents themself.
Once the furry baby is following these criteria their acceptance increases many fold in a public area. But above all the process of training and learning also improves the communication and bond between the dog and the pet family many folds.
“All dogs can be good dogs, and all owners can be great owners, all it takes is a little bit of training, lots of love, and of course, plenty of praise along the way.”
AKC Canine Good Citizen
CGC has 10 objective criteria for evaluation. There is no age or breed restriction for CGC. So the good news is even Indian Pariah can also go through this training along side others.
- Appreciate a friendly stranger – অন্য লোকের সামনে শান্ত থাকা
- Sitting politely for petting – কেউ আদর করার সময় শান্ত থাকা
- Appearance and grooming – লোম আঁচড়ানোর বা সাজানোর সময় শান্ত থাকা
- Walking on loose leash – পাশে পাশে শান্তভাবে হাঁটা
- Walking through a crowd – ভিড় জায়গায় শান্তভাবে হাঁটা
- Sit and down on command and staying in place – বসতে বা শুতে বললে শোনা আর সেই ভাবেই থাকা
- Coming when called – ডাকলে কাছে আসা
- Reaction to another dog – অন্য কুকুর দেখেও শান্ত থাকা
- Reaction to distraction – অন্যমনস্ক হওয়ার পরিস্থিতিতে সংযত থাকা
- Supervised separation – কারোর দায়িত্তে বসিয়ে মালিক চলে গেলে শান্তভাবে বসে থাকা
All the dog parents should consider the training process as a fun activity. The CGC training overall shouldn’t take more than 2 months if the dog parents can dedicate 30 mins every day.
