Has anyone seen any 2008 schedules for CGC or other certification opportunities?

I'd like to get Akina's CGC this summer - after we 'polish' up her skills. The little 'Chunky Monkey' needs some practice.

What about the weekend of the WAE? I think it's in August or September sometime...? And if she's old enough, you could also do the WAE with her (I think she has to be at least 2 yo). I'd like to take Mia for the WAE this year...she was too young last year.

The Dobe club of Mich is holding the WAE test as well as
a CGC on sat aug 9th. We are working on flyers to put out.
John Schemomen is doing WAE & Bobbie Green is CGC tester...
Is held at Island Lake rec off I-96 in brighton as we have had it for
years.. Great park...

PERFECT.

Yes...I'd like to do the WAE with Akina.
She is a little skittish of 'new' things, so I'm not sure if she'd pass that or not.
It doesn't really matter if she does or not though.

But...Yes, I can definitely prep her for the CGC that weekend. And maybe Kenny and I can work a bit more on our obedience this time and shoot for a higher score than 74pts. (Sorry Brownsmom, we aren't settling for a tie this year!! lol)

The WAE and the CGC on the same day? Zeus and I are so there! He got his WAC last year, but I want to do the CGC too. He should easily be ready by August.
Daisy, we did not get a picture for passing the WAE last year, do you think we could get a picture taken this year?

[doberpagegirl]

I really want Alley to get her CGC this summer too. Maddie says she is ready. Since it's not until August, maybe Buddy can get ready by then too. He knows what he is suppose to do, but he still needs more socialization. He still gets nervous in new places and with new dogs. If he is not ready can we still bring him? The socialization with all those dogs would be great for him. I've never seen a WAE competition. I have read about them on the board, and maybe Alley and I will give that a try too. Do I need to get their ILP numbers before this? I think I do.

She needs to be ILP'd for the WAE but not for the CGC.

[Kennysmom]

Thanks for bringing that up.....I better get crackin' on Kenny and Akina's numbers.

( I just finally got Kenny's CGC Certificate in the mail. I never sent in the paperwork.)

[Stacie]

Lisa - maybe we can get Akina and Lilo CGC certified together - wouldn't that be cute. Magnum and Kenny did theirs together and the girls can do theirs together!

[Diana]

Wait for Nixx too, if she can ever get over her "sceaming" . aaah, someday, if I am lucky.

[Daisy]

Yea, we are doing WAE & CGC the same day, Yes you need a ILP number
to do the WAE, but not the CGC.
The WAE is a 1 time thing, if you pass you get the certificate from DPCA & dont
have to re-test. For the dogs who didnt pass last yr, yes can take test again.
Yes, you can bring any dogs you want, they dont have to test for anything, just
come & spend day.. We will have our pot-luck BBQ lunch & raffle & maybe a
item to auction for SCD.. The park-Island lake is a nice place & dog friendly..
Both clubs have been having their events there for many years now..
We will be getting flyers printed soon, so will let you know & can send them out
to who needs them. Dont have to pre-enter CGC, but is cheaper to pre-enter
WAE test... I will be one to send entrys to.
Our club isnt having a obedience/ conformation match this yr...
But there will be one in june in willianston some of the SCD gang has been to..

I will post info on new topic...

[Kimmi]

Here you go ladies. Flyer has been done for a long time now..didn't think anyone was thinking August yet:)))

[Kennysmom]

Stacie - yes, that would be cool to do the test again with the 'girls' this time. lol

Diana - If you ever want to meet anywhere to help socialize Nixx and maybe get her over her 'screaming' let me know.

[Diana]

Thanks, Lisa, lets hope this weather starts getting better and we can make plans. Nixx does so good when working by herself, but, she needs to understand that the screaming does not help the situation.

[Stef]

Daisy - how many times can you take the WAE? I think we'll give it another go this year...

[Daisy]

Stef, there isnt a limit, but the general thought
is if they cant pass in 3 different trys, probably never
will. That is what the testers have said to us over the
years... So give it a shot if you want, I will be at Chatham
sat/sun. will bring you a flyer..

[Jan]

Hi everyone -

I know that CGC is Canine Good Citizen. Can you tell me what WAC and WAE stands for? Thanks. Marten's Mom

[CAB]

Can you tell me what WAC and WAE stands for?

WAE - Working Aptitude Evaluation

The American Temperament Test Society is doing a test Sunday, May 4th in Muskegon, sponsored by the Muskegon Lakeshore Obedience Training Club. This test is almost identical to the WAE and is also open to mixed breeds. Dogs must be at least 18 months old and you do not need an AKC ILP.

Zeus and I are going.

Thanks for posting this, I have been there to watch the test years ago, nice park, if they are doing it at the same place. I marked it on the calendar and will check out the site. I think you had to register in advance???
