The Good Citizen Dog Training scheme is open to all dogs, young or old, pedigree or crossbreed. Dogs do not need to be registered with The Royal Kennel Club to take part.

The scheme promotes responsible dog ownership by teaching owners to train their dog for everyday life situations through four award levels – Puppy Foundation, Bronze, Silver and Gold.

Dogs and owners of any fitness level or disability can take part. The scheme is non-competitive and emphasis is placed on the standard of achievement.

Lessons take place for approximately one hour per week. Puppy Foundation and Bronze courses normally take between six to eight weeks to complete, but silver and gold courses will take longer.

Puppy Foundation courses are assessed by the class instructor and over a minimum four-week period. Bronze, Silver and Gold courses require a short test set at the end of the course or on an approved test day. An approved scheme examiner will assess whether you and your dog meet the required standard.
