This morning I am a very proud to announce that Linus graduated from obedience school and also passed his Canine Good Citizens Test!

Our final session with dog trainer Frank Cahill was an evaluation/test and also a “graduation ceremony.” After the test, Frank was kind enough to bring Linus a new toy, diploma, and even had a CD Player which played Pomp and Circumstance (lol) while he presented the diploma! Very cute.

I’m particularly excited that Linus is now a certified Good Citizen because it is one more step towards doing Therapy Dog work with him. I have to mail in his AKC CGC form (above) and should have his actual registration certificate within a week or two.

As I mentioned before, we had a wonderful time working with Frank during our once a week training session. If you are in the Manhattan, Queens, or Long Island area and are looking for a dog trainer who is kind, patient, knowledgeable and has a great manner with the dogs, he comes very highly recommended!

I am so proud of Buddy, I am going to have to restrain myself from fawning over him all day/spoiling him with treats so that I don’t completely undo all of our hard work getting the obedience down in the first place!
