The Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme promotes responsible dog
ownership. It brings together simple exercises such as basic dog
training, grooming, exercise, diet, cleaning up after the dog and
general healthcare. All dogs are eligible for Good Citizen training,
whether they are pedigree or cross-breed, young or old.
The Scheme is not competitive and incorporates four awards - BRONZE,
SILVER, GOLD and Puppy Foundation Assessment. Each level involves a
gradual development in our understanding of dogs. Details of the
various tests can be found on The Kennel Club website under ‘Training’.
Capable Canines awards each dog a certificate and rosette when they pass
any of the tests.
A trained dog is a happy dog and remember, you can teach an old dog new tricks!
