The AKC Canine Good Citizen™ (CGC) program provides a perfect framework for training your dog to become a polite member of society. CGC is open to all dogs–purebred and mixed breed. There are no age minimums or limits for participating in the Canine Good Citizen program\, because yes\, you can always teach an old dog new tricks! The 10 test items on the CGC test are practical\, functional behaviors that every dog should have to be welcomed in the community. The test items are as follows: \n\nAccepting a friendly stranger\nSitting politely for petting\nAppearance and grooming\nOut for a walk (walking on a loose lead)\nWalking through a crowd\nSit and down on cue and stay in place\nComing when called\nReaction to another dog\nReaction to distraction\nSupervised separation\n\nPMHS-CV is holding a Canine Good Citizen prep class from May 19th – June 16th\, with the test taking place the following Sunday\, June 23rd. If you’d like to take the class to better prepare for the test\, sign up here! If you’d like to sign up for just the test\, sign up below! \n\n\n \n \n Canine Good Citizen Test\n \n \n \n Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email(Required)\n \n I want to sign up for:(Required)\n \n \n CGC Test - $25\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Δ \n \n\n  URL:https://popememorialcvhs.org/event/canine-good-citizen-test/ LOCATION:Pope Memorial Cocheco Valley Humane Society\, 221 County Farm Road\, Dover\, NH\, 03820\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://popememorialcvhs.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/CGC-Test-May.png ORGANIZER;CN="Pope Memorial Humane Society":MAILTO:events@popememorialcvhs.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20240623T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20240623T120000 DTSTAMP:20260422T143410 CREATED:20240607T204219Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240607T204223Z UID:19315-1719140400-1719144000@popememorialcvhs.org SUMMARY:Reading Fur Fun DESCRIPTION:The Reading Fur Fun Reading Program is a mutually beneficial experience designed to help shy\, anxious shelter animals feel more comfortable around people by having young advocates read to them. We want to encourage the animals to approach the front of the kennel when visitors and potential adopters are present. Animals who approach the kennel front get adopted more quickly\, thus reducing the average length of stay. \nReading to shelter animals has many benefits for both the animal and the reader. Because animals don’t judge a child’s reading level\, a child is likely to feel less hesitant to read out loud. This provides an environment for readers to gain confidence and improve their literacy skills. The animals also benefit from story time. A shelter is a stressful place for animals; reading time provides a calm\, low-stress socialization opportunity. Scared and skittish animals have an opportunity to develop social skills and learn that humans are kind. Friendly animals get to have extra social time and are able to take a break from the shelter’s stressful environment. All reading sessions are chaperoned by adult staff members and volunteers. The adults provide reading support to the children and make sure safety protocols are being followed. \nFor our young volunteers\, the Reading Program helps foster compassion and empathy\, while providing a supportive environment in which to develop their reading skills. In addition\, the program provides children the opportunity to make a positive impact by helping animals in need. \n11:00 AM – 11:25 AM – Small Animals reading sessions11:30 AM – 12:00 PM – Cat reading sessions \nChildren ages 6 to 13 years are welcome to participate in PMHS-CV’s Paws & Pages Reading Program every Sunday and read to cats and small animals. If you have any questions\, please contact Community Engagement at communityengagement@popememorialcvhs.org. \nThank you for your interest in this program and for encouraging your child to put their “compassion into action” through volunteering. \nWhat to Bring: \nYou may bring your favorite books if you’d like\, but it is not required. We have a library of animal-themed books available.
