Congratulations to those who passed, and to those who did not this time - don't give up! As some of us will attest, it just takes time!

Sue McGregor organized the tests and co-taught, together with Susan Hoffman, the preparation classes for canine good citizen. The tests were held with the assistance of a large number of volunteers and the Gastineau Humane Society. Our thanks go to all who participated in the tests and to those whose efforts made the tests possible.
