Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme
Although many Whippet enthusiasts enjoy taking part in competitive obedience competitions, the Kennel Club is aware of the fact that some owners wish to have a well trained, obedient dog, and would like the fact to be recognised.
For this reason, several years ago now, the Kennel Club introduced the Good Citizen Dog Scheme.
If you have gained an award under the scheme, we would like to hear from you, and acknowledge the fact on this website. Please supply us with your name, your dog’s name (both K.C. name and pet name), the award gained (Bronze, Silver or Gold), and the date you obtained your award.
For a list of training clubs in your area offering GCDS training go to:
