CGN and my Sassy Girl

IT CAME IN THE MAIL 

We were soooooo excited.  Sassy received her Canine Good Neighbour certificate.

Sassy and I worked very hard to pass this test.  We had taken the test originally in the summer last year but unfortunately we didn't pass.  Sassy did not like  me being out of her sight for the 3 minute wait. 

So we worked, and we worked and we worked and all that hard work paid off.  This time when we took the test we were at a Rally-Obedience trial.  The test was held after the trial was finished and while the clean up crew was rolling up mats, lugging equipment and generally make a ton of noise.  Sassy sat beside the "stranger" holding her leash, I left the room, the suspense was almost unbearable. When I returned she had shifted her position but was still sitting waiting calmly for me to return.  No whining, no tugging at the leash, just calm and quiet. Apparently she glanced at the "stranger" inched a little closer to them and waited.

GOOD GIRL, EXERCISE FINISHED
