Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    In Part Five of the Canine Good Citizen test your dog must demonstrate that he can walk through a crowded area. The test shows that your dog can be controlled around people.

  2. Step 2

    Start by practicing with a group of friends. Have your dog walk through the group.

  3. Step 3

    If your dog likes to jump or become unruly around strangers, practice walking your dog in areas with a lot of people. I start by walking my dog in areas where there are not a lot of people. Once my dog is walking well on a leash, I go someplace that has people, like a shopping area.

  4. Step 4

    Once you can walk your dog in areas where there are a lot of people, you are ready for this part of the test.
