FUTURE BERKLEY SCHOOL COMFORT DOG TEAMS TRIUMPHANTLY PASS THE CGC:

On May 14, 2026, four Berkley School District "Comfort Dogs in Training" easily passed the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) evaluation at Michigan Dog Training in Plymouth, MI. A fifth dog team wasn't available yesterday but they are ready to be evaluated at their next class.

The CGC evaluation is based on ten components such as: Walking on a loose leash, Letting a person approach and pet their dog, the dog responding to sit and down commands, the dog being able to stay in place while the owner walks 20 feet away, the dog being recalled to the owner 20 feet away, the dog remain calm and stay with a person while their owner walks out of sight for three minutes and more.

Upon completion of their training program with Michael Burkey of Michigan Dog Training, the dogs will offer comfort and support to Berkley's students. Great job team - (L to R) Joe and BENNY, Robyn and CHICKENS, Bonnie and DOLLY and Hillary with REMY!!

Here is 8 year old Maggie and her mom Jaclyn, training their dog REX, a German Shepherd / Husky mix, in private lessons at Michigan Dog Training in Plymouth, Michigan. The distraction dogs are those who are also here for board and train, day train, daycare or boarding. So it's a win - win for all the dogs getting training time.

We love working with and training children, and we are amazed at the control Maggie has with her dog Rex. He follows her every command. Maggie even learned how to do an obedience competition switch turn that many adults have trouble comprehending. Yay Maggie!!
