Canine Good Citizenship Program

Sit and down on command Staying in place - This portion of the test demonstrates that your dog has received training.  Your dog should respond to your commands of sit and down.  A training lead of 20 feet is used for this portion of the test.  When the person who is administering the test feels that your dog has responded appropriately to these commands; they will ask you to tell your dog to stay.  Then you will be asked to walk away from your dog the full 20 feet of the training lead; your dog must stay while you do this.  The evaluator will tell you when to release your dog from the stay command.
