The Bronze Good Citizen Award is designed to achieve a well-behaved dog that is under control when on or off the lead. A dog of any age can take part in the Bronze Award and you do not have to have completed the Puppy Foundation Course.  Their handlers will also be given basic knowledge of understanding and training their dogs.

• Cleanliness and Identification – the correct collar and identification tag as well as means of cleaning up after the dog
