See pictures of our display team at Crufts 2007 by clicking here THE KENNEL CLUB's GOOD CITIZEN DOG SCHEME AWARD: where we run regular courses to educate owners about the importance of having a well trained dog which is completely well socialised and socially acceptable to other members of society. For full information about the Good Citizen Dog Scheme and what it coveres click on the Kennel Club logo: We also offer Good Citizen Dog Scheme training as a continuation course for owners of dogs who just wish to improve their overall obedience after having attended a puppy course, either with us, or elsewhere. If you have previously attended one of our courses, a foundation course with Dogs in Training or Shippshape School for Dogs, then the cost of a 6 week course is £60, or £70 to those who have trained elsewhere. ACORN DOG TRAINING HOLDS THE KENNEL CLUB'S LISTED STATUS The test at the end of each course is not compulsory, so if you are happy with what you have achieved, then no test is necessary, however, the option is there if you would like to receive the award. To join, you must have previously attended one of our puppy or junior classes, or at least attended a class elsewhere where clicker training has been used. Tuesday 22nd July at 7.00pm, with Fran Griffin. Location Woughton on the Green - weather permitting, or Bradville Hall if the weather is poor. To book your place please call Fran on 01908 397236, or email If there is nothing suitable listed here for you, please either come back in a few weeks time, or contact the training schools listed below: Dogs in Training on 01908 691695 Shippshape School for Dogs 01525 251504 These classes run in a similar way to Acorn Dog Training. As with all our training classes, the methods we use are reward based, as well as kind, firm and very fair to the dog. We do not train with choke chains, or use any form of bullying.
