The Kennel Club Good Citizen Scheme
The Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Training Scheme is the UK’s most widely recognised dog training programme, promoting responsible ownership and rewarding well-mannered dogs of all breeds and backgrounds.
It’s a brilliant way to build real-life skills and a closer bond with your dog—whether you're just starting out or looking to polish up on obedience. We're proud to be one of the few dog training schools in the Central Belt of Scotland offering this respected scheme.
Begin with Bronze
Begin with Bronze
The Bronze level builds on the Puppy Foundation basics, but is also suitable for dogs with no prior experience.
The course and exam is comprised of 10 exercises including: heel on lead with distractions, recall and finish, stay commands, grooming, handling and responsible ownership skills. There’s no requirement to complete the Foundation award first, but many dogs breeze right on through! The end includes a short test overseen by an external qualified examiner.
Your Route to Gold
With an experienced instructor and a supportive, down-to-earth atmosphere, we’ll guide you and your dog through each level at a pace that works for you both.
