The Farm Dog Certified test is a series of twelve exercises that represent situations a dog may encounter in a farm environment. The basic test requirements are designed to demonstrate a dog’s trainability, self-control, confidence and trust when working in partnership with their owner. The test is a non-competitive pass/fail evaluation designed to assess the overall conduct of a dog. The dog must demonstrate self-control when exposed to livestock and other unique sights and scents. The dog should exhibit confidence and a willingness to comply with instructions when confronted with a variety of situations within farm type surroundings. The test is basically a Canine Good Citizen Test on the farm.  This workshop will actually be on a farm at 7055 N McKinley Road, Flushing, MI This is the farm where we will have a Farm Dog Certified Test scheduled on October 8, 2020.
