What Is A Well-Behaved Dog?
As members of our society, dogs are obligated to behave in an acceptable manner towards each other, humans, and other living things. This can only be achieved through the conscientious efforts of their owners.
Dogs should not be allowed or encouraged to harass wildlife. They should be socialized at a young age to other dogs and children. They should respond quickly and correctly to the commands of their owners.
The Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) has developed a "canine good neighbour" test. While this test is aimed at the "ideal" dog, it serves as a guide for all responsible dog owners and a goal to strive towards.
Our Mission
The mission of the Capital Comets Dog Sports Club, other than just having fun with our dogs, is to promote responsible dog ownership and to encourage working partnerships between dogs and their owners through participation in dog sports.
We believe that dog owners must be responsible for their dogs in order that dogs can fit in well with human society.
Responsible Dog Ownership
Responsible dog owners ensure that their dog:
-- has adequate food and fresh water, on a daily basis
-- has shelter from the elements
-- gets enough regular exercise to meet it's physical and mental needs
-- receives love, attention and respect
-- receives proper veterinarian care
-- receives at least basic obedience training
-- is never subjected to harsh or violent treatment
-- is leashed when appropriate to avoid infringing on other's rights, and when in a dangerous environment
-- is picked up after when in public places
