The Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme is the largest dog training programme in
the UK. Its aim is to promote responsible dog ownership by teaching dog owners practical
dog training skills, which are used in everyday life situations. The Scheme also
helps to enhance a dog owner's relationship with their dog and to make the community
aware of the benefits of dog ownership.
So once you've completed a Manners Not Mayhem training class you can enrol
on the Bronze GCDS class.
