1 There is no such thing as a "KC Good Citizen Dog Scheme Trainer", there IS such a thing as a KC approved KCGCDS Examiner (bronze, silver or gold).
2 If this club is a KC registered one then it may behoove the trainers AND trainees to remember the KC Code of Practice for KC registered clubs:
Particularly the part which states:
It is the responsibility of the club to ensure that the welfare of the dog is paramount.
Finally, is agility THAT important to the dog/handler that participants need to wear a citronella spray collar?

how do you think u'd feel if you had lemon juice squirted up your nose every time you got a little distracted?
