Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme

The Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme was established to promote socially acceptable dogs and to teach owners how to train their dogs. After all, dogs are not born with the fountain of all knowledge. Just like humans dogs need to be educated so that they can live in harmony with society.

The Scheme is open to all dogs regardless of age or breed. The aim of the Scheme is to promote responsible dog ownership and in turn, enhance our relations with our canines, and to make the community aware of the benefits associated with owning dogs.

There are four levels of achievement as follows:-

Puppy Foundation – for puppies, whereby basic training skills and socialisation will start to introduce them to life’s daily routine.

The Bronze Level – for dogs that are relatively new to dog training.

The Silver Level – for dogs that have their bronze level and have graduated to a higher learning curve.

The Gold Level – this is the highest level of Good Citizenship and will show you a well behaved and trained domestic pet.
