Izzie the Wonder Pug CGN... Now a Certified Not Bad Dog

27/52: Bad Pug isn't so bad anymore..., originally uploaded by mandypug.

So on Friday the 29th, Izzie and I attended the big Alberta Kennel Club show up in Calgary so we could take the Canine Good Neighbour test. Of course I was terribly nervous while Izzie was cool as a cucumber. Everyone loved her at the test, she is a very cute and well behaved little dog.

Anyways, after a bunch of waiting we finally got to do our test. The first part was the one i was the most nervous about, Supervised Isolation. She isn't allowed to howl and whine and tug at the leash and isn't allowed to jump into the lap of the person holding her leash. Here I'm thinking "Shit, she's gonna jump up into the person's lap for sure" so i looked her in the eye and said "Izzie, don't you jump up! Be GOOD!" and left her. After 3 minutes i came back and the evaluator said she did fine and passed that part. Whew! The hard part was over. Everything else was cake. Even though Izzie's never done recalls on a long lead and we've been practising off lead.

So in the end my little bad Pug passed her CGN evaluation and i am very proud of her! Perhaps i should stop calling her bad then? Though she still has her moments (but we all do lol).

Good Pug. She'll be getting back into her Therapy work as of next week as well, which she loves. She's an attention whore so it's right up her alley.
