About a week ago I decided that I was going to do Peggy's Kennel Club Good Citizens Bronze Award. I decided to do this without going to any classes whatsoever - I thought, 'Oh I'll just wing it and see what happens!'
Well of course Peggy passed with flying colours - a testament to the training we do here at home and to the intelligence of the breed.
Then yesterday I decided that since I was at Manchester Championship Show with Elsie where there was an examiner, I may as well give it a bash and try to get her KCGC Bronze as well.
I must admit that I did have a moment of panic once I was in the ring actually doing the exam - a very busy dog show with lots of loud noises and distractions such as a tannoy system and spectators surrounding the ring cheering us on, made me quite nervous.
Anyway, I needn't have worried because Elsie passed too!
The Kennel Club Good Citizen Scheme is a great programme and I would definately recommend it. There are 3 levels - Bronze, Silver and Gold. I may well do the others in the near future too. I will probably do some actual training in preparation though 😂
