You are on to it.. we now have a good number of Councils recognising the program with a 50% rebate on the annual fees and one even paying the club running the programs the NZKC $15 fee for the program.

Thanks for that Brian...

let's encourage the local authorities to support CGC with 'Good Citizens Only' areas (Rather than 'No Dogs') .. along with a reduction in registration fees for successful dogs ...that would encourage participation, be partially self funding...and gain momentum one hopes....

Hi Warren And Jake

Congratulations on your progress and yes we are looking at sponsors for the total CGC program which will enable us to consider your suggestion of suitable baubles to signify the achievements of the wearers.

While I agree that many will be agreeable to a small cost, regrettably it is not cost effective to produce them on individual demand thus there is an initial outlay in design and production.

A worthy sponsor would allow us the freedom to advance many of these initiatives
