Once the Puppy and or Bronze awards have been achieved you can go on to train for the Kennel Club Silver Good Citizen Award. This course is for 8 weeks. We recognise that with the extra demands of the course not all dogs are ready to take the test after 8 weeks, if this is the case you may continue on a weekly club membership basis and a subscription fee until you and your dog are ready for the award. In this class you will learn:
- Road walking - we ensure that your dog can be safely walked along the road beside you, not leading the way!
- Food refusal - important in multi-dog household and especially where there are children.
- Recall to heel.
- Dog to come away from distractions.
- Control in a car - we aim to help ensure that your dog is a well behaved and safe traveller in the car.
- Prepare for vet examination building on what has already been achieved in the Bronze course.
