Central to the activities at Coventry DTC are our Training Nights
On each training night, each member is guided through basic pet handling, and may progress into competition handling if they wish to do so.
Our pet handling is based on the Kennel Club Good Citizen Scheme which is the largest dog training programme in the UK, which has operated since 1982. The scheme being open to all dogs, young or old, pedigree or crossbreed, whether Kennel Club registered or not.
Dog owners of any fitness level or disability can take part too. The scheme is non-competitive and emphasis is placed on the standard of achievement.
There are 4 levels of courses from Puppy Foundation, to Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards.
