the canine good citizen test consists of ten items:

1. accept a friendly stranger
2. sit politely for petting
3. accept ears and feet touched, plus a brush
4. walk on a loose leash
5. walk through a crowd
6. sit, down, and stay
7. come when called
8. react appropriately to another dog
9. react appropriately to a distraction
10. stay with another person for three minutes

this is something i try to get with all my dogs, but my little dog definitely did not pass back when she took it as a yearling. very proud of how far echo has come since she’s come to live with me—hard to believe that was only about three months ago!
