Sitasmom good luck with BH :) - Page 2

Equipment

All tests must be performed on leash. Dogs should wear well-fitting buckle or slip collars made of leather, fabric, or chain. Special training collars such as pinch collars, head halters, etc. are not permitted in the CGC test. We recognize that special training collars may be very useful tools for beginning dog trainers, however, we feel that dogs are ready to take the CGC test at the point at which they are transitioned to regular collars.

The evaluator supplies a 20-foot lead for the test. The owner/handler should bring the dog's brush or comb to the test.

Encouragement

Owners/handlers may use praise and encouragement throughout the test. The owner may pet the dog between exercises. Food and treats are not permitted during testing, nor is the use of toys, squeaky toys, etc. to get the dog to do something. We recognize that food and toys may provide valuable reinforcement or encouragement during the training process but these items should not be used during the test.
Failures – Dismissals

Any dog that eliminates during testing must be marked failed. The only exception to this rule is that elimination is allowable in test Item 10, but only when test Item 10 is held outdoors.

Any dog that growls, snaps, bites, attacks, or attempts to attack a person or another dog is not a good citizen and must be dismissed from the test.

Thanks for posting this for everyone Sita's Mom! I am sure that will help a bunch of people out! THanks for the compliements on Rama's pic... he is quite the character!

teddy has his CGC  , which is way easy.
it will be awhile before he is ready for his BH.
i wish sita and you good luck.
you will be fine.

Lots of luck to you and your girl!!
       You'll have a good time even if you get a little nervous, I would love to try to get the BH also, I like doing temp. tests on everyone, I have only got them from www.atts.org   I would still like to try to get a TT from the GSDCA or a German one...

let us know how it goes!

Will do.

Still have to run by the vet's office and get a copy of their vacination records.....

My son will be handling Vanna our SPCA Great Dane/Bird dog mix,
I'll be handling our  Mattie 10 YO Aussie rescued from South Texas Aussie Rescue and Sita vom Vinahaus our GSD.
My husband will be there for support and be the go-fer guy incase we forget or need stuff....

Mattie is old and slow, I hope they don't think its bad of me to do this to her. She still has lots of spirit and expects to be included in all training and other activities.....She has HD and ED.....poor girl. I'll give her an asprin tomorrow morning and she'll be ready to go by noon.

Thanks for all the well wishes......

Will be doing the TT with Sita and hopefully Hero in December....
Hopefully Sita will be passing her SchH1 then too - fingers really crossed on that one!


BEA
If Sita is anything like her brother, then she will indeed be fine.

Good luck and please let us know how it goes.
