Bhubaneswar, Aug 27:

A dog is man's best friend and who doesn't like to cuddle a well-behaved and happy dog who does not growl or mess up your entire living room? Talk about canine etiquette! Speaking of mannerisms, Orissa Kennel Club in association with Obedience & Agility Club are bringing a Canine Good Citizen workshop to Odisha capital.

To promote responsible pet ownership, this is an attempt by the Kennel Club of India to help owners of canines to modify the behaviour of their pets and handle them in public places. The dog owners and their pets will undergo training exercises together for a period of one month. At the end of this training period, participating dogs will undergo a final test, passing which they will be rewarded with a Canine Good Citizen certificate.

Trainer C.R. Patnaik of Cuttack and Prakash Butt of Commando Kennels in Hyderabad will conduct these exercises tomorrow at the Kishor Club grounds in Unit I area of Bhubaneswar from 7 am onwards. This cost-free programme is open to all dog owners and all breeds of dogs: purebred, mix breeds, mongrels, registered and unregistered.
