Guys, guys, guys..... I just completed the CGC last Saturday. Here it is the CGC Commitment to Responsible Dow Ownership form that I signed immediately after the test - verbatim CANINE GOOD CITIZEN OWNER'S COMMITMENT TO RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNERSHIP I understand that to truly be a Canine Good Citizen, my dog needs a responsible owner, I agree to maintain my dog's health, safety, and quality of life. By participating in the Canine Good Citizen test, I agree: I will be responsible for my dog's health needs. These include: - routine veterinary care including check-ups and vaccines - adequate nutrition through proper diet, clean water at all times - daily exercise and regular bathing and grooming. I will be responsible for my dog's safety. - I will properly control my dog by providing fencing when appropriate, not letting my dog run loose, and using a leash in public. - I will ensure that my dog has some form of identification (which may include collar tags, tattoos, or microchip ID). I will not allow my dog to infringe on the rights of others. - I will not allow my dog to run loose in the neighborhood. - I will not allow my dog to be a nuisance to others by barking while in the yard, in a hotel room, etc. - I will pick up and properly dispose of my dog's waste in all public areas such as on the grounds of hotels, on sidewalks, parks, etc. - I will pick up and properly dispose of my dog's waste in wilderness areas, on hiking trails, campgrounds and in off-leash parks. I will be responsible for my dog's quality of life. - I understand that basic training is beneficial to all dogs. - I will give my dog attention and playtime - I understand that owning a dog is a commitment in time and caring.
