Annual awards
The Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Training scheme is the largest dog training programme in the United Kingdom, with over 800,000 dogs and their owners graduating through the scheme’s Bronze Award. The scheme’s Annual Awards are held in recognition of the hard work and contributions made by dedicated dog training clubs and individuals. The scheme’s Annual Awards reward dog training and canine clubs for their commitment in promoting responsible dog ownership through the scheme. Through training, scheme tests, key messages, educational talks and responsible ownership campaigns, all aspects of positive canine promotion have been considered.
We are delighted to announce the top three nominees in each category. Please give them your vote. The Annual Awards presentation will be held at Crufts on Saturday 11th March 2023 at 13.00 (Clubs) and 13.30 ( Individuals).
