Puppy Foundation
The Puppy Foundation Award specialises in training owners to train
their puppies. Depending on the individual club, enrolment can take place from the
time your puppy is 8 weeks of age. There is no minimum training standard required,
as long as the puppy is under 12 months of age when the course is completed. All
abilities are accepted!
Bronze
The Bronze Award aims to produce a dog that will walk and behave in a controlled
manner. It is a basic standard that all adult dogs can achieve with correct handling.
Owners must show that they have means of picking up after their dog and that their
dog is wearing a lead and collar with name and the address of the owner inscribed
on the collar/disc to take part.
Silver
The Silver Award aims to build on the skills learned in the Bronze award whilst
increasing the level of difficulty. It is a natural progression of practical dog
training skills and introduces new concepts such as greeting a friend, vehicle control
and a road walking exercise which are vital in everyday life situations.
Gold
The Gold Award is the highest level of achievement within the Scheme awards.
It builds upon the skills learnt in the Silver Award and develops more advance training
skills of the dog and handler. The Gold Award introduces new concepts such as sending
a dog to Bed, Relaxed Isolation, an Emergency Stop and Heel work off the lead, all
of which provide greater understanding and control.
