In 1995 Jenny Judson and several other key people in "THE PEOPLE PET PARTNERSHIP INC." a Sydney based group of dog trainers, dedicated to positive reinforcement training, developed the C.G.C. COURSE, in association and with and the support of the ANIMAL WELFARE LEAGUE N.S.W.    They also trademarked the term CANINE GOOD CITIZEN and it's initials C.G.C.

The 12 month course was the first attempt in Australia to present a comprehensive package for trainers committed to positive reinforcement training.  It was presented by professionals, including Terry Ryan [U.S.A.] Dr. Kersti Seksei and Dr. Gaillie Perry, and combined a balanced mix of face to face lectures and demonstrations, with assignments which were completed by distance education.   Responsibility for this course was transfered to DELTA AUSTRALIA in December 1997.

From 1999-2000 the course was conducted at Certificate IV level.

FOR THE FIRST 3 YEARS THE C.G.C. trademark was used with the approval of those wonderful founders.."THE PEOPLE PET PARTNERSHIP INC." and the Animal Welfare League NSW.. prior to it's transfer to the Delta Society in 2002

In 2005-2006 Course [ now a CERTIFICATE IV ~ RTCA. ~ CERTIFICATE IV in Companion Animal Services ~ ] student intakes have grown to the full quota of 80.

The Pet's Bill of Rights   

1.We have the right to be full members of your family. We thrive on social interaction, praise, and love.

2.We have the right to stimulation. We need new games, new toys, new experiences, and new smells to be happy.

3.We have the right to regular exercise. Without it, we could become hyper, sluggish...or fat.

4.We have the right to have fun. We enjoy acting like clowns now and then; don't expect us to be predictable all the time.

5.We have the right to quality health care. Please stay good friends with our vet!

6.We have the right to a good diet. Like some people, we don't know what's best for us. We depend on you.

7.We have the right not to be rejected because of your expectations that we be great show dogs or show cats, watchdogs, hunters, or baby-sitters.

8.We have the right to receive proper training. Otherwise, our good relationship could be marred by confusion and strife - and we could become dangerous to ourselves and others.

9.We have the right to guidance and correction based on understanding and compassion, rather than abuse.

10.We have the right to live with dignity...and to die with dignity when the time comes.
