Well done Shelley & Malaika! I think by the time i arrived there you had gone, buyt john mentioned he had been talking to you both. Will we see you at Crufts or will you be too busy by then…....;)

Congratulations! I'm not familiar with the Good Citizen assessment. What does it involve?
Fran, thank you,
The KC Good Citizenship is a structured training programme that should result in a well trained socialy acceptable Dog and an owner who realises their responsibilities of keeping a Dog.
It starts with Puppy foundation, works through Bronze and Silver and ends with the Gold award.
Each module consists of a series of training sessions and an assessment except puppy.
For the Bronze she had to do a minute sit stay off lead, walk on lead in a controlled manner, walk near distractions, wait at one side of a gate untill called through, a recall, and a physical examination from handler.
Howard my husband then had to answer some questions about Dog ownership. -

Thanks Scott, we are very pleased with her.
Howard did the handling and i cheered them on ;)
Sorry we missed you, it was nice to chat to John and see Alfie and Dynah, they were all cuddled up.
Not sure about Crufts, it all depends …......... -

I know the trainer gives courses that work up from the previous one, though I do not think that there is a recognized award system here.

WTG! Congrats.
The Good Citizen program sounds much like the US one.
