AKC's Safety Education Program for Children

"Since dogs are an important aspect of children's lives, the American
Kennel Club believes every child should be taught how to behave safely around dogs." The American Kennel Club.

Canine Good Citizen

Before taking the Canine Good Citizen test, owners will sign the Responsible
Dog Owners Pledge. We believe that responsible dog ownership is a key part of the CGC concept and by signing the pledge, owners agree to take care of their dog's health needs, safety, exercise, training and quality of
life. Owners also agree to show responsibility by doing things such as cleaning up after their dogs in public places and never letting dogs infringe on the rights of others.

Contact HPHP for a copy of the Responsible Dog Owners Pledge.
