Kennel Club PUPPY foundation course

How will courses be conducted?
The Puppy Foundation Assessment will be based on the puppy and its owner's attendance at training classes. It is not an award that is conducted on a one-test basis. The thinking behind the Puppy Foundation Assessment course is that puppies learn on a gradual basis, over a period of time. This way a puppy will have time to settle into a new class and gradually build up solid foundations for the future. Upon enrolment onto a course your puppy will receive an introduction pack including the Puppy Foundation Syllabus, a Puppy Foundation diary and Canine Code.

How old does my puppy have to be?
Puppies MUST have completed their second vaccination. The maximum age for a puppy to enrol will not exceed 12 months old.

How long does it take to complete the course?
puppies courses last for 6 weeks and in most cases this is long enough for the puppy to pass.

What does my puppy have to do?
As part of any normal dog training process, training the owner is as important as training the puppy, therefore both owners and puppies are assessed. The course includes 12 different exercises and each exercise will be covered as part of each training session. They are: -

Responsibility & Care
Cleanliness & Identification
Attentive Response To Name
Puppy Play
Socialisation
Handling & Inspection
Puppy Recall
Basic Puppy Positions
Walking in a Controlled Manner
Stay for approximately 10 seconds
Take Article Away from the Puppy
Food Manners (take a treat without snatching)

Is there an examination at the end of the course?
NO - this programme has been designed to lay the foundations in a puppy's education and therefore assessment will take place over the duration of the course and not on one occasion.

What does my puppy get when he or she passes assessment?
In addition to laying the foundations for a well-behaved dog, puppies who successfully complete the Puppy Foundation Assessment course will be awarded their very own KC Good Citizen puppy certificate.
