WE WOULD LIKE TO CONGRATULATE EVERYONE WHO PASSED THE GOOD CITIZENS TEST in 2004, details of those who passed in previous years can be viewed here for 2002 and here for 2003
These passes are genuine achievements. All dogs have to show that they are able complete the exercises to a satisfactory standard. At Acorn Dog Training, we do NOT allow dogs to pass tests at any level if they are unable to complete the required tasks in a satisfactory manner. Neither do we suggest that dogs whom we feel require further training join in on test days.

Many thanks to our regular judge, Steve Beechey of The Thames Valley Police Dog Section, and Member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers and to all those who gave generously to our nominated animal charity and managed to raise £65. Thanks also to Craig Baker of Bedfordshire Police Dog Section who judged the Gold Award
If ever there should be a special award, it should go to Jackie Watson with Sofie Patrice. Jackie is a senior citizen, who is herself seriously ill. To train a Cavalier King Charles to the exacting standards of the Silver Award takes time, patience a lot of hard work, plus a great deal of love. This goes to show what can be achieved by many able bodied people, if only they would give themselves and their dog the time and effort. Well done Jackie. Your efforts and achievements send a huge message to dog owners the world over ~ Much love and blessings to you both. Fran.
Well done for all the hard work and effort you have all put in to achieving this standard of training. Good to hear that you are continuing on to learn other things as well.
