The Little Nose That Nose is holding a Canine Good Neighbour (CGN) Test on Saturday, March 16 at the Red Deer & District Kennel Club training hall in Red Deer. Open to all dogs.

The CGN program identifies and rewards responsible and caring owners and their canine partners! The purpose of the CGN program test is to ensure that our dogs are accepted as valued members of the community and can be counted on to present good manners at home, in public places and in the presence of other dogs. The program was created to assist canine owners in combating anti-dog sentiment and to enhance community awareness of responsible dog ownership and the benefits associated with dog ownership. (Taken from the Canine Good Neighbour Program Participant Handbook, available from the CKC). This test is not a competition calling for precision performance by the handler and dog. Rather, it assesses the handler and dog's relationship together with the handler's ability to control the dog. We recommend that you read the CGN Participant Handbook so that you will be familiar with what you and your dog will be required to do. Dogs must be 6 months of age to participate. Proof of vaccinations will be required.

Entry fee: $25.00 per dog (includes the $10.00 CKC fee for CGN Certification). You may enter multiple dogs, Scheduling accommodations will be made.
