On March 5, 2014, three more dogs earned their Canine Good Citizen (CGC) titles from the American Kennel Club at Michigan Dog Training (MDT) in Plymouth, Michigan. The dogs were evaluated by Wendy Bemis, Lead Dog Trainer at MDT and witnessed by Michael Burkey, President and Dog Behaviorist for MDT. To earn their CGC titles, dog teams must be able to complete 10 steps in the CGC evaluation some of which include: being able to meet another dog team under control, walk on a loose leash while making left, right, and about turns, sit or down stay and have the handler walk 20 feet away, be able to come when called at a distance of 20 feet and more.
Congratulations to the following new CGC Stars:
1. Ryan McDaniel and Dakota Bear, a German Shepherd of Dearborn Heights, Michigan
2. Keith Bushey and Molly of Redford, Michigan
3. Dana McIntyre and Shimrin’s Sweet Liberty a Australian Shepherd of Romulus, Michigan
Congrats to all three dog teams for their hard work and accomplishment!
