The Canine Good Citizen course is a 9 week positive motivational course that aims to produce a well behaved, socialised pet and an informed and responsible owner.
The emphasis of this programme is training for "real life" situations - so your training ground is your everyday world.
The programme aims to produce:
- A dog anyone would like to own
- A dog that can socialise with other dogs and people
- An owner capable of understanding and handling a dog and who is fully informed on all aspects of its care, wellbeing and responsible dog ownership
At the end of the 9 week course you could expect your dog to:
- Walk with you on a loose lead along a crowded street past everyday distractions
- Sit quietly beside you while you stop to talk to another person both with or without a dog
- Sit beside you while being petted by a stranger
- Stand still and tolerate grooming and a visit to a veterinary surgery
- Stay briefly in a sit or down position
- Not jump from the car until instructed to do so
- Come when called and have a lead attached
- Tolerate being separated from you for short periods
