Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme

The Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme is 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, be they pedigree or cross-breed, young or old.

The Scheme which is not competitive incorporates four awards - BRONZE, SILVER, GOLD and Puppy Foundation Assessment. Each level involves a gradual development in our understanding of dogs.

A trained dog is a happy dog and remember, you can teach an old dog new tricks!
Dog owners also have an obligation to their community and participants will be guided on the joys of responsible dog ownership. The course is straightforward and non-competitive and on successful completion of each of the tests, participants will be awarded a Certificate to mark their achievement and a rosette on completion of the Bronze Award.

For More information on what is involved in each test use the links below that will take you to the Kennel Club site, with information on each of the levels for GCDS

There have been many Australian Shepherds who have passed these awards.  If you own one of them please contact me and their name name will be listed on the site.  Please give both registered name and pet name of the dog.
