Taking the AKC Canine Good Citizen Challenge

by Jamie Pyatt

The AKC Canine Good Citizen Award, or CGC as it is commonly known, is awarded to dogs that pass a standard test of ten items that all good dogs should know. These ten steps are the basics to your dog being a well mannered member of society.

There is no age limit or other training requirements in order to take the test and it is open to every dog, regardless whether they are pure bred or mixed breed. Puppies must be old enough to have received all immunizations.

The test must be performed by a leashed dog wearing a regular buckle or clip collar; training collars cannot be used. Verbal encouragement is permitted but treats are not.

While some dogs may have completed basic training or CGC preparedness classes, these are not requirements to completing the Canine Good Citizen program. You as an owner can properly train your dog with patience and repetition of the necessary steps to complete the CGC and be an example of a well mannered dog. Training your dog, whether on your own or in a class, bonds your dog to you and provides a necessary dog-owner connection. Training your dog imposes boundaries and lets him/her know what behavior is expected. Dogs naturally want to please their master so teaching your dog what actions are expected of him will redirect anxious energy caused by a dog not knowing their limitations within society.

Passing the CGC program involves more than just teaching your dog a few commands. In addition to training your dog to be a respected (and respectful) community member you are declaring that you will be a responsible dog owner. You must sign a pledge stating, among other things, that you will be responsible for proper diet, health care, daily exercise and grooming. You will promise to properly control your dog at all times and be responsible for the dog’s quality of life.

The 10 test items of the Canine Good Citizen program will put your dog in situations that they are likely to encounter within the community. The first, Accepting a Friendly Stranger, will demonstrate how your dog reacts when you meet a friend on the street who ignores your dog. If you have a dog who thinks everyone he meets is his best friend, this one can be a challenge!

Sitting Politely for Petting, the second test, is exactly as it sounds. While sitting at your side, your dog must allow the evaluator to pet its head and body without showing shyness or resentment, or jumping up and enthusiastically licking the evaluators face!

Item 3, Appearance and Grooming, requires that the dog allow the evaluator to comb or brush him. You will provide the brush or comb that you normally use for grooming. The evaluator will also inspect your dog to see that it is clean, groomed and healthy in appearance. This item is also a test for you, the owner, as to whether you are showing the proper care towards your dog.

The next test demonstrates that you are in control of your dog when walking on a loose lead. You will make left turns, right turns, about turns, and stops while your dog’s attention is fixed on you. It sounds relatively easy but if you are like me when testing, your anxiety will pass right down the leash and even the best trained dog may walk like it is his first time on the leash. Luckily, if your dog has minor problems with one item on the test, your evaluator may, at their discretion, allow you to test again when everyone else is through.

In real life your dog will need to walk through crowds. Item 5 will test that your dog can pass close to several people without lunging or pulling. This item is best practiced often to not only pass the CGC but because no one likes a dog that jumps or noses their rear while walking past.

Sit, Down and Stay is performed on a 20 foot line. Once the dog is sitting, the handler will tell the dog to stay and walk the entire length of the line and back to the dog. The dog may change position but must stay in place.

Once your dog aces Item 6, then Item 7 – Coming When Called- will seem a breeze. You can either tell your dog to “stay” or “wait” and walk 10 feet away. The evaluator will attempt to distract your dog as you call the dog to you.

Your dog will need to prove that he/she can meet another leashed dog in a polite manner for Item 8. You and another person walking their dog will approach each other, greet each other and move on. Your dog should show “casual interest” only of the other dog.

Item 9: Reaction to Distractions. Enough said! The evaluator will select a noise or a visual distraction to expose your dog to. The dog should not panic, run away nor show aggressiveness. You can find a list of the 6 distractions the evaluator can choose from at AKC.org. It is a good idea to practice with each as you cannot be sure which the evaluator will choose. You can talk to your dog and offer encouragement or praise throughout the test but check yourself to make sure you are not offering the positive response when the dog is frightened or you will be reinforcing the fear.

My dog has been known to whine when I walk away so I was concerned that Item 10, Supervised Separation, might be a challenge. However, I walked away for my 3 minute “out of sight” separation with nary a sound from him. It may have helped that we tested at his favorite Doggy Daycare, but I prefer to think it was my superior training skills. Either way, we passed the Canine Good Citizen Test, sent away for our certificate and now have the bragging rights to go with it.

"In Touch" with Sharon Kurtz

by Daniel Podobed

Sharon Kurtz’s Seminar “Get in Touch with Your Pet” was extremely well received on Saturday, February 27th. Sharon put on a very informative and enlightening seminar about techniques used to get in touch with your pet. Sharon has a background in healing and medicine being a registered R.N., and she also specializes in Acupuncture, Acupressure, Homeopathy, and is an animal communicator.

We had a group of very eager participants in her two hour workshop which focused on Acupressure and Acupuncture on pets. This seminar explained the background and techniques used in getting closer to your pet via touch.

Following the seminar, the group had the opportunity to book private communication with Sharon. Not a single person out of the group, after sitting through her seminar, walked away without an individual communication appointment. And while the communication was private, we spoke with them as they walked up to our checkout counter to see how it went. All of them said it was revealing, and most were in tears

We had four dogs on hand, two Doberman Pinchers, a Border Collie, and a Jack Russell Terrier. The owners learned of many abuses and of the neglect some of these rescued dogs went through with their previous owners. Each owner left with a heavy heart. They also left knowing the dog is in a loving home, which made this day a success in every way.

Sharon Kurtz will return to Cherrybrook on Saturday, April 24th. She will present a seminar on Homeopathy for pets, and is also booking appointments for individual communication after the seminar.

You can register for the seminar, or her individual communication by contacting the Cherrybrook Store at 908-689-7979 extension 4.

About Sharon Kurtz, Animal Communicator

Sharon Kurtz, RN, BSN, C.Ht., has been communicating with the animal world since she was a child. She works with pets and their owners on behavior issues, illnesses, loving connections with pets that have crossed over, and just allowing the pet to let their owners know their thoughts and feelings. She worked with the Distance Healing Network for Pets as a group leader for the past thirteen years. With over thirty years of experience in holistic practices, Sharon offers a unique blend of services for both animals and individuals who seek to find balance in their lives.

Sharon, a Registered Nurse and Complementary Medicine Therapist in a cancer center in Elizabeth, NJ, aside from being an animal communicator, is an IGM Therapeutic Acupressure practitioner, Certified Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master/Teacher, Integrated Energy Therapy Master Instructor, Reconnective Healing practitioner, and a Thai and Chair Massage practitioner serving both people and their pets. She is a proud member of the American Holistic Nurses Association, the International Medical and Dental Hypnosis Association, and is also a nutrition student at Trinity College of Natural Health.

Sharon is the founder and Director of Get In Touch Too LLC located in Washington Township, a center offering a unique approach to healing, for people, their pets, and between the pet and its owner. Please visit her website at http://www.intouchtoo.com/

Animals, just like humans, have their own personalities, thought processes, needs and views on the world in which we live. Through an animal communication, you can find out why your pet is behaving (or misbehaving) the way s/he is. With Sharon’s assistance, you can “speak” to your pets that have passed over.Open up a new world and understanding between you and your animal friend(s). Animals are very simplistic creatures. They are not concerned about world politics, paying the mortgage, etc. They are true spirit housed in a physical body. Learn what animal communication is and what it is not. How they live in a “positive” and not a “negative” world, and how they view “sharing” their lifetime with their human companions.

We are all a part of nature. Because of this we are born with the innate ability to communicate with everything that is in nature. As humans, we rely heavily upon verbal communication (or sign language for the deaf). We often forget that there are many other ways of communicating. When we start to remember our connection to nature, we realize that we can communicate with animals (and plants, trees, etc.). Interspecies communication begins with the knowing that all animals have spirits and that they communicate through their spirits as well as their body language. They are comfortable with their surroundings and open themselves up to "speaking." When they are in a strange place, they are looking at all the sights, smelling all the smells, wondering where they are, trying to figure out who all of these people are. Therefore, when a communication is done in a different environment than they are used to, they "say" a lot of things that do not pertain to why the person is asking for the communication. If they are left at home or wherever they are used to being, the conversation is clearer and issues are resolved quickly. A picture is nice but not necessary. Sometimes, in a multi-pet home, a picture is helpful to single out the pet that is getting the communication. The animals are very grateful for these readings and are very eager to share their thoughts. So remember, we are speaking to their spirit telepathically and this knows no limits.

Please do not bring your pet to the store; a picture is helpful (please see preceding paragraph), but not necessary for Sharon to connect with an animal. Sharon’s readings are $50 for a 30-minute reading or $25 for 15 minutes. She is also available for appointments and parties.

Testimonials for Sharon's work:

"We are so grateful! We rearranged their sleeping area as you suggested to accommodate some of Zeke's frustrations with Zoe and it went very well. A very good night for all! I ordered some (Feng Shui) mirrors to deal with a neighbor issue for Zoe's peace of mind, have salt ready, and sent blessings to the "gentleman" and his family as you suggested. The pups have been so good and playing well together. Just doing this communication, I believe, was reassuring for Zoe and Zeke, as well. It is so gratifying to know this is possible and that better solutions are possible. I highly recommend Sharon if one's pet has issues. When I told my husband about Sharon he was stunned at her ability to know certain facts that no one but us knew."
Cynthia (Mom to Zoe and Zeke)

"I just wanted to thank you for our conversation on Saturday. I am really so happy to have been able to connect with little Shade. It was really helpful." from Annie (about Tum):"Our conversation with Tum last night really helped me so much, and I hope helped him too.Thank you so much for sharing your gift."
Karin (about Shade)

"God Bless You, Sharon. I will never forget what you did for me in April. You were the first to tell me about animal communication and if I never knew, I don't know how I would have made it this far."
Suzanne (about Crystal)

"I can't thank you enough for helping me through one of the most difficult and painful periods of my life. It has been such a gift and delight working with you. I have experienced an incredible improvement in my health through your Therapeutic Acupressure."
S.G., Basking Ridge NJ

"Sharon does many forms of alternative medicine. I have been seeing her for health issues for a few months now and have found her methods very soothing and helpful. There is much more to the story but to give my own testimony, I had shingles some years back that hit my sciatic nerve. I have had horrible pain from my hip down to the tip of my toes for a long time. Nothing really ever got rid of the pain but after seeing Sharon for three sessions, I have been completely relieved of the pain and to date it still has not come back. For this I am very happy and have continued to see her for many other sessions. "
Missy, Easton PA

"It has been such a joy working with you over the last year. My daughter experienced an incredible improvement in her physical and emotional health through your Therapeutic Acupressure. As an undiagnosed sufferer of Bi-polar disorder, my daughter experienced overwhelming stresses and pressures to her body, mind, and emotional well-being that such an imbalance can create.Once diagnosed, proper medication, combined with your gentle and experienced acupressure sessions, enabled my daughter to experience relief on many levels. Her physical body, which was exhausted and ravished by months of harshchemical treatments, regenerated. With your guidance, support, and the gentle non-invasive treatment her emotional well-being blossomed as well. I can't thank you enough, for helping us through one of the most difficult experiences in both my daughter's and my lives. Get In Touch Too, LLC was an unexpected pleasure amidst overwhelming pain and confusion."
K.B., Basking Ridge NJ

"I had continual pain on the bottom of my foot from plantar fasciitis for a long time and did not know where to turn. The doctors only prescribed inserts for my shoes to help alleviate the pain. I found Sharon’s brochure in a health food store and gave her a call. After several sessions I began to feel energized, less stressed, and the pain in my foot was slowly going away. I definitely have more energy and feel revitalized. Each session has helped not only the pain in my foot but the entire rest of my body. I would recommend this highly to anyone."
J.P., Saylorsburg PA

Westminster Kennel Club Show

by Roy Loomis

It’s already time to get ready for The 2010 Westminster Kennel Club Show. Wow, time is really flying. Having been founded not long after the 1969 Westminster Kennel Club Show, Cherrybrook’s first appearance at Westminster was in 1970. We have been at Westminster every year since then, making this year our 41st consecutive year serving the exhibitors, handlers and spectators of The Westminster Kennel Club.

Cherrybrook has always been the largest distributor of dog supplies at The Westminster Kennel Club Show. Cherrybrook now sells Show Dog, Grooming and Pet Supplies to all types of customers all over the world. Cherrybrook is welcomed at Westminster by dog enthusiasts from all over the United States and, in fact, all over the world. There are even several charter flights from Japan, which bring hundreds of Japanese enthusiasts to the show every year, many of whom stop by the Cherrybrook booth.

Cherrybrook’s involvement with the Westminster Kennel Club is of course something that makes us enormously proud. This show, like no other, allows us to work with and meet our customers from all over the world. However, at the same time it is one of our largest and most challenging shows to prepare for and support our customers. After 14 hours a day on our feet, the show crew certainly needs a rest.

Our planning for this show begins during the already busy Holiday season, and the logistics of preparing for the show are focused on up until show time. The Cherrybrook presence at the Westminster Kennel Club is anticipated by breeders, owners, and handlers as they begin their preparations. In fact, there are always a large number of pre-orders that we receive prior to the show.

We look forward to seeing all of you at the 2010 Westminster Kennel Club show and throughout the rest of the year!

Animal Reiki

by Maria Plass



Animal Reiki is a hands-on healing modality which is a wonderful form of Spiritual Healing to use on your pet. It is a safe and gentle, non-intrusive therapy which allows gentle healing of your pets for any type of physical illness, pain, injuries or emotional problems.

Pet lovers are turning to Animal Reiki to heal the animals because it has been reported to improve their pet's health, happiness and heal their pets - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually using nothing more than pure vibrational energy and the palm of your hands.

Animals are highly intuitive and absorb the energies of their owners including stress, emotional unbalance, and tension and easily become unbalanced and unsettled from these negative energies. A healing session of Reiki can remove these blocks and release the animals from this energy to regain optimal health and happiness.

Reiki is a totally natural form of spiritual healing which allows your pet to heal and maintain optimum health. Many pet owners are being drawn to Reiki for animals because of the fact that it heals without expensive ongoing visits to the vet. Animal Reiki heals animals in exactly the same way it heals people.

The healing benefits of a regular session on your animal is very holistic and it is also very beneficial for animal's pre and post surgery, plus sick or injured animals as well. The healing energy of Reiki is also an excellent form of pain relief.

What are the benefits of a Reiki session for an animal?

Reiki works/heals on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels.

Deepens the bond between human and animal companion.

Reiki complements both conventional (allopathic) and holistic medicine.

Reiki can lessen the side effects of medicines and other procedures.It can help maintain health on all levels.

Help and support for a dying animal and his humans to ease the transition at the end of life.

It is very helpful for any animal that has been in a shelter situation.

Reiki induces deep relaxation and stress-reduction.

Over time, Reiki can reduce nervousness.

Reiki can accelerate healing after surgery or illness.

Can help with behavior issues.



Moey’s Story

As a Reiki Master, I’ve seen and experienced the many benefits of Reiki with human beings. This was a given. Little did I realize how powerful and receptive our dear friends, we call pets, are to Reiki until my Moey was hit by a car. We were advised by the vet that the bones in her hind, right leg were severely crushed. The prognosis was dim that the leg could be saved. However, knowing the power of Reiki, I told him not to amputate the leg.

And so, for one solid week, I provided Reiki healing to my Moey. Because of the tremendous amount of pain she was in, I did the healing sessions remotely. In my private sanctuary, I would send her healing Reiki energy four times a day, for 15 to 20 minutes each session. I could see her progressing daily and was anxious to hear the results from the vet. She was examined one week later. The bones had nearly healed completely! The cast was removed and she walked on all fours! Not only did she walk—she ran, she climbed, she jumped!

There is no doubt in my mind that had she not received the healing benefits of Reiki, Moey’s leg would have been amputated. I am thankful that I was able to be a catalyst in the healing process.

Maria Plass, Certified Holistic Health Consultant and White Light (Johrei) Reiki Master will bring her healing touch to Cherrybrook in Bedminster. Bring your dog, cat or a picture of your furry friend. Call for more information or to reserve your session now – 908-781-2220.
