The Good Citizen Dog Scheme Guidelines are now available in a convenient pamphlet from the Kennel Club’s website,www.thekennelclub.org.uk.  The booklet details everything you need to know about the training scheme for owners and dogs, run by the Kennel Club.

The Good Citizen Dog Scheme, promotes socially acceptable dogs and creates responsible dog owners. The scheme is non-competitive and is open to dogs of all ages and all breeds, whether Kennel Club registered or not.

The scheme was introduced in 1992 and there are now nearly 1800 participating dog training clubs which offer training courses and testing sessions in the UK. Emphasis is placed on the handler’s ability to handle, control and generally care for their dog in a domestic environment. The object of each exercise is to provide a good standard of control.

The guideline booklets cost £3 and are available from the Publications Department at the Kennel Club (020 7518 1016) and online at www.the-kennel-club.org.uk/asp/shop/.
