This box was carve in honor of a member of the Brat Pack recieving her diploma. Tank, a yellow lab passed the Canine Good Citizen test at 6 months old. We were all very proud of her.

What is the Canine Good Citizen test?

Welcome to the AKC's Canine Good CitizenĀ® (CGC) Program. Started in 1989, CGC is a certification program that is designed to reward dogs who have good manners at home and in the community. The Canine Good Citizen Program is a two-part program that stresses responsible pet ownership for owners and basic good manners for dogs. All dogs who pass the 10-step CGC test may receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club.

Many dog owners choose Canine Good Citizen training as the first step in training their dogs. The Canine Good Citizen Program lays the foundation for other AKC activities such as obedience, agility, tracking, and performance events. As you work with your dog to teach the CGC skills, you'll discover the many benefits and joys of training your dog. Training will enhance the bond between you and your dog. Dogs who have a solid obedience education are a joy to live with-they respond well to household routines, have good manners in the presence of people and other dogs, and they fully enjoy the company of the owner who took the time to provide training, intellectual stimulation, and a high quality life. We sincerely hope that CGC will be only a beginning for you and your dog and that after passing the CGC test, you'll continue training in obedience, agility, tracking, or performance events.

Canine Good CitizenĀ® is one of the most rapidly growing programs in the American Kennel Club. There are many exciting applications of this wonderful, entry level that go beyond the testing and certifying of dogs.

Now to the clues to the box.

I chose a place that Tank loves to play and so do the other puppies in the Brat Pack (Tooth Fairy and Jay Jeopardy).

Drive to Washington Park and find the puppy playground below the kid playground. (It only looks like a soccer field, it's really a puppy playground, just ask Tank). Go through the gate and run around and around and around and around and around and around. Chase the ball and bring it back, have it thrown for you again. when you're exhausted and ready to behave yourself, walk in a straight linen from the gate to the back of the grass. There, underneath some ivy at the mouth of an alcove is a log. Behind the log is Tank's diploma.
