DOG IDENTIFICATION
Dogs by law must wear an ID tag on their collar with the surname and full address of the owner. Although it is not a legal requirement we advise you also put phone numbers for easier contact should your pet go missing.
As it is a legal requirement and a rule of the Kennel Club Good Citizen Scheme ID tags will be checked in class as no puppies/dogs will be allowed to take part in any of the tests unless they have the right identification attached to the dog’s collar.

MICROCHIP
As of 6th April 2016 it is compulsory for owners to ensure their dog is microchipped. As it is a legal requirement and a rule of the Kennel Club Good Citizen Scheme all puppies/dogs attending classes will be scanned and no dog will be allowed to take part in any of the tests unless they are microchipped.
