Jet and I have spent the past six weeks going to an AKC Canine Good Citizen class every Thursday evening. Tonight we had a test to see if he passed . . .
Jet had to walk on a loose leash, sit, lie down, stay while I walked 20 feet away, come when called, wait with a stranger while I disappeared for 3 minutes, have his feet and ears handled by a stranger (the examiner), be brushed by the examiner, walk among a crowd of strangers making lots of noise, and come close to a strange dog.
As you can perhaps guess from my face, Jet passed his test!
I had a test to pass, too--I had to promise to fulfill a list of responsibilities toward Jet. A Canine Good Citizen deserves a human good citizen!

Congratulations, Jet and Susan!! Love the last pic especially! All that hard works deserves a ribbon!

Thanks, Barbara! He did so well, especially because all of the other dogs in the class were very big, and he was the "little guy."
