How to Pass Part One of the Canine Good Citizen Test - Allowing a Friendly Stranger to Approach
By Eric Letendre

The Canine Good Citizen test was developed and promoted by the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1989 to promote good manners at home and in the community. There are 10 parts to the Canine Good Citizen test and your dog must pass all of them. Dogs that pass the test receive a certificate from the AKC.

The test is open to mixed and full breed dogs. Any signs of aggression will automatically disqualify your dog from the test.

Before taking the Canine Good Citizen test, owners are required to sign the Responsible Dog Owner Pledge. The American Kennel Club believes that responsible dog ownership is a key part of the CGC concept, and by signing the pledge, owners agree to take care of their dog's health needs, safety, exercise, training and quality of life.

All tests must be performed on a leash. Dogs should wear well-fitting buckle or slip collars made of leather, fabric or chain. Special training collars such as pinch collars and head halters are not permitted during the CGC test.

Here are some tips for passing Part One.

The first part of the Canine Good Citizen test is allowing a friendly stranger to approach you and your dog. The stranger does not pet your dog; they only walk up to you and talk to you. Your dog is required to remain in the sit position at your side. Your dog is not allowed to jump, show any signs of aggression or become unruly.

Start by teaching your dog the stay command at your side. When your dog starts to do a stay at your side, have a friend help you. Have your friend approach as your dog sits at your side.

A good way to practice this part of the test is to step on your dog's leash as your friend approaches. This will prevent your dog from jumping on them.

You can't step on the leash during the test, but it's a good way to practice. As your friend approaches and your dog attempts to jump less and less, start to have your friend approach without your foot on the leash.

When your friend can approach and your dog remains calm at your side, you are ready for the test. Keep practicing until your dog can sit at your side as a stranger approaches.
