In order for Kaiya to get her service vest (training) she needed to pass what is called the Canine Good Citizens Test. This is a test created by the AKC to determine if your dog can be polite in public.
We arrived at Pet Suites in Lexington on Saturday night to have her tested. There were 6 other dogs there who needed to be tested as well in a very small room. I knew Kaiya could do all the test well but in a new setting with new dogs and new people I was a little worried. Kaiya was a very excited and playful when we first got there. She had to walk nicely on a a loose leash around other dogs and a people, sit, stay, down, come, ect - all without treats around all the other dogs. I told Todd when we walked in that I was nervous but it all turned out fine. We were able to calm her down so that she could focus and listen to us. After it was all done, she passed!! I was soo happy and proud of her. She will now get her vest and look like an official service dog!
