The Canine Good Neighbour (CGN) program is offered by the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC). It is open to all dogs, purebred and mixed breed, and places an emphasis on good canine manners and a strong bond between the handler and dog. The CGN program is designed to recognize responsible pet ownership and the ability of a dog to fit in as a well behaved member of the community.
To obtain a CGN recognition, the handler and dog must pass a test comprised of 12 elements, including:
- Accepting a Friendly Stranger
- Politely Accepts Petting
- Appearance and Grooming
- Out for a Walk
- Walking Through a Crowd
- Sit/Down on Command and Stay in Place on a Long Line
- Come When Called on a Long Line
- Praise/Interaction
- Reaction to Passing Dog
- Reaction to Distractions
- Supervised Isolation
- Walking Through a Door/Gate
