Canine Good Citizens (CGC) Brady and Marjorie, August 2011 A proud graduate of the summer KMODT class, who put her new approaches to working with Shiloh (mixed breed) together in time for the State Fair (2010). 2009 This spring, we partnered up with the UNL Companion Animal Program to offer a CGC class on the East Campus. Here are the handlers and their new AKC Canine Good Citizens: Pam and Lester (Springer Spaniel) Tom and Koi (Lab) Staci and Greta (Doberman) Pam and Clancy (Viszla) Sheila and Kona (Lab)
CGCs earned in 2008
Kate and Pan (Belgian Tervuren)	Carrie and Rosco (Cocker Spaniel)
Companion Dog It only takes a bit more training and handling practice to turn those CGC skills into an AKC Novice obedience routine, as the next set of trainers may attest. New AKC Companion Dog (CD) titles, earned with class placements: Marilyn and Schroeder (Golden Retriever) Kate and Pan (Belgian Tervuren) Carrie and Rosco (Cocker Spaniel) Nancy and Scout (Border Collie)

Open After the CD comes Open obedience with its requirements of retrieving and jumping, and out-of-sight stays. For their extraordinary demonstration of commitment and discipline, congratulations to Marilyn and Schroeder (Golden Retriever) for earning their first qualifying score towards the Companion Dog Excellent title (CDX) on their very first time out in Open A, a mere six months after they earned the CD.
