just a question regarding the training some of u are doing
what is test requirements for each stage -bronze, silver, etc been a while since we done this.
the reason for asking is we were going to put Balie through her breed survey this year as she has had the required health checks ,but have now been told that a BH or GC is now also required.(new this year)
If we know what the required test at each stage is we can do this at our ring craft club then arrange for tester to visit club when required

i have only done bronze with mine so far, it was heelwork, recall, sit and down , and questions about basic looking after your dog, jude will know much more than me

silver was all that plus getting in and out of car controlled, passing other dogs walking to heel at roads and waiting to cross eh got the forms in the house will bring them into work tomoz if i remember and scan them for you if you like.

thanks lorz

i remember when we done it with xena a down/stay had to be done for 10 mins with owner out of site,can't remember what level that was

not sure what one my dad done years ago but the final test included dog sitting with starting pistol being shot.(this is also part of breed survey)

no problem i have taken a note and will look forms out tonight and email or scan them tomoz for you.

Cant remember off the top of my head what else i done with storm on the silver....

Get internet back on at home tomoz thank god.....

Bronze and Silver were virtually the same apart from Silver you have to do come away from distraction, food refusal,return to handler from a sit stay, controlled in and out of a vehicle and a 2 minute down stay.

Gold was off lead heelwork, Road walk, return to handler from a sit stay, send away to a mat, controlled seperation, emergency stop, food refusal and a 3 minute down stay with 30 seconds out of sight.

not sure how the vehicle bit would go(van is fitted with cages) as ours get hyper when the van stops as they know its fun time


only Xena has ever been in a car and that was 4 years ago

so are you doing the pet citizen tests or your BH?

im confussed not hard mind lol
