I thought I'd share a bit of exciting news with all of you today! My sweet little Australian Shepherd pup, Mykelti passed her Canine Good Citizen test this afternoon! (The Canine Good Citizen test encourages responsible pet ownership and shows that your dog has sound training and a reliable temperament in various situations.) Mykelti is my second Aussie to pass this test on the first try! Her big brother, Ranger is a registered therapy dog. I'm preparing Mykelti to become a therapy dog as well! I started working with her from the day I brought her home, and she couldn't be a sweeter pup! The CGC test is essentially an unofficial "mid-term" evaluation for therapy dogs in training to see how their skills are. It is a pre-requiset for the therapy work that we do, so I am excited she preformed well today! She still has a bit more training to get under her belt before I will put her through the PPSAT evaluations in a few weeks (It's a 22 part Skills/Aptitude test.) Anyways, I'm a proud furbaby momma right now and just wanted to share a bit of our positive news with all of you today!
