This is a great program. Perhaps considering regulation to require pet owners to obtain a license and pass this type of program would be helpful. In addition to teach pet owners the potential consequences of dog bites, attacks, etc.

This is a good break down of expectations. My dog will be undergoing the AKC Good Citizen test at a local petco that has a dedicated dog trainer.
