Examine the dog's teeth during the 'sit' exercise

In our basic classes we  prepare dogs for the American Kennel Club’s Canine Good Citizen test.  Examining the dog’s teeth is one of the test steps in the exam.  This step also tests the dog’s understanding of the ‘stay’ command — sit and remain in place.  Use the ‘Contact Us’ tab to ask questions or discuss training issues.
