The American Kennel Club's
Canine Good Citizen® (CGC) Program was started in 1989 to reward
purebred and mix breed dogs who have good manners at home, in public places
and in the presence of other dogs. The AKC’s CGC Program stresses
responsible pet ownership for owners and basic good manners for dogs.
HOT’s CGC Prep Class is designed to polish the skills you've learned in
Basic 1 & 2 and prepare you to pass the 10 exercises included in the AKC’s
CGC Test, such as politely accepting a stranger, grooming, or the presence
of another dog. Your dog will need to demonstrate that it can walk
politely with you in public, deal with distractions while on your walk, sit,
down on command and wait for you to call them. The class concludes
with the CGC Test conducted in a relaxed, non-competitive atmosphere.
All dogs that complete the class and pass the 10-step CGC test may receive a
certificate from the American Kennel Club.
As of January 2013, when your dog passes the CGC test,
you have the option on the CGC form (that you receive when your dog passes
the CGC test) to receive a CGC
Certificate or record your dog's accomplishment with the AKC as a title.
Please see the
AKC's website for more information. |

Evaluators throughout the three-week class session. Go to the
AKC's website for more
information about this new, exciting program. |

tracking, or performance events. All students working in any of the

In addition, rally promotes fun and enjoyment for dogs at all levels of
competition.
In Rally, the dog and handler execute 10 to 20 designated stations on a
course designed by the judge. Each stations has a sign providing instructions
regarding the skill that is to be performed. The team of dog and handler moves
continuously at a brisk, but normal, pace with the dog under control at the
handler's left side. There should be a sense of teamwork between the dog and
handler both during the numbered exercises and between the exercise signs;
however, perfect "heel position" is not required. Unlimited communication
from the handler to the dog is to be encouraged and not penalized. Unless
otherwise specified in these Regulations, handlers are permitted to talk,
praise, encourage, clap their hands, pat their legs, or use any verbal means of
encouragement. Multiple commands and/or signals using one or both arms and hands
are allowed; the handler's arms need not be maintained in any particular
position at any time, however, the handler may not touch the dog or make
physical corrections. Click here to learn more about

AKC tracking events are the
competition form of canine search and rescue. These Tracking events provide
training for dogs and their handlers to meet some human needs for tracking and
finding lost humans or other animals, as well as, demonstrating the extremely
high level of scent capability that dogs possess. Click here to learn more about
tracking. PLEASE NOTE: This
class is only offered twice a year; once in the spring and once in the fall.
Please check our class calendar for start dates.
Intro to
Tracking
$140 – 6 weeks
$100 -- additional dogs or audit |
Requirements: Open to
handlers of at least 14 years of age and dogs 3 months and older who are in
suitable physical condition to handle the challenges of this class. |
Competitive tracking is a
sport that judges a dog's ability to recognize and follow human scent, a
skill that is useful in the service of mankind. We are not training
for search and rescue work, man trailing or evidence discrimination,
however, the same basic skills learned in this class are utilized to train
dogs for those services. Tracking, by nature, is a vigorous, outdoor
sport. Tracking tests demonstrate the willingness and enjoyment of the
dog in its work, and should always represent the best in sportsmanship and
camaraderie by the people involved. HOT’s Tracking Class is designed
for those who have never tracked before or who have been out of the sport
for a while and are starting a new dog. Students will learn the start,
corner, article indication, and line-handling skills necessary to develop
the teamwork with their dog needed to build a training regime that, with
commitment and consistency, will lead to the successful completion of the
AKC Tracking Dog (TD) or Tracking Dog Urban (TDU) Test.

Dog shows (conformation events) are
intended to evaluate breeding stock. The size of these events ranges from large
all-breed shows, with over 3,000 dogs entered, to small local specialty club
shows, featuring a specific breed. The dog's conformation (overall appearance
and structure), an indication of the dog's ability to produce quality puppies,
is judged. This is a drop-in
class, meaning there is no pre-registration; you pay each week at class.
Taught by Tim Robbins
$20.00 per week |
Requirements: Dogs
must be leashed trained and have up to date vaccinations, including
rabies. Bitches in season must be wearing britches. |
Tim
Robbins offers a Conformation Class on Tuesday evenings from 8:15 - 9:45
pm at HOT's Training Facility for those who want to learn about showing in
the breed ring or just need to polish a dog before showing. Classes
are open to all breeds, adults and puppies, experienced and novice
handlers. For more information contact Tim at
Robbsdale@aol.com. |
Determining Equivalency
The
Training Director and
two other members of the Training Committee will determine equivalency.
This equivalency is successfully demonstrated by running a "pattern". Dog
should show a working knowledge of moving attention (this need not be perfect),
a place sit, recall at end of long line, sit on command, down on command and
other exercises appropriate to the class level for which they are registering. Evaluations are $45.00, must be paid prior to your evaluation session,
and must be scheduled, in advanced, with our
training director. You may pay
for your session with cash, check or via PayPal.
Refund
Policy
Class
sizes are limited, so, if after registering you find that you are unable to
attend this course, please let us know in advance so another applicant may fill
your slot. Your enrollment will be canceled and your check will be voided
or you may elect to transfer your enrollment to a future Puppy or Basic Class.
If you must miss a class, your instructor will offer an abbreviated make-up
session before your next class (as their schedules allow). No
refunds will be made after the first class is completed. If for some
reason you are not able to complete your scheduled class, a transfer certificate
will be provided for a slot in a future Puppy or Basic Class. Only one
transfer will be allowed per student. There are no transfers offered for CGC,
Rally or Advanced classes.
Dismissal of Aggressive Dogs
Houston
Obedience Training Dog Club, Inc. does not allow overly aggressive or vicious
dogs in its classes. Dogs who are potentially dangerous to other people
and/or dogs will be dismissed from class and referred to a private canine
behavior modification program at the owner’s request.
In the case of dismissal,
NO REFUND WILL BE GIVEN
and the dismissed dog may not enroll in any future HOT Dog Club class until the
owner can provide proof that a behavior modification program has been
successfully completed.
