Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards (In production)

Our Bronze, Silver and Gold awards can be either achieved via online submission of demonstration of behaviors or via attending an informal assessment session. This is a separate cost to the main course and covers production of rosettes as well. Puppies who have achieved the foundation course can attend the lifeskill course to work towards the bronze level

Click under the award to see the criteria for the award. 

The silver and gold include use of outside distractions and other skills so it is highly advisable to attend the sessions for this. If however you are unable to attend these then online submission in either the same location or a similar location is required. This can also be done in a 1-1 Basis as well but would be more expensive. 

The silver and gold awards alternate every 4 weeks, so 4 weeks of the silver course and 4 weeks of the gold award
