The examiner tricked us all by telling us that we were just practicing and then secretly marking us! It was all very relaxed though, which I think helped. Ellie's stay went amazingly well. We practiced for half an hour this afternoon at home & in the garden, and every one we did, she managed to stay for a minute so I was worried she wouldn't do it tonight. Obviously I had no need to worry!

Thank you all! The questions were no problem either as he let us do them by giving him a show of hands! Not that I think any of us would have got them wrong if we'd done them a different way. But because it was so informal, none of us were worrying about it really and that definitely helped. The little Cocker Spaniel next to us was terrified of the examiner though, bless him. He didn't want to go anywhere near him, but he still managed to pass.

A big well done to you, but mostly Ellie! I am so proud of you both and happy for you, she looks very proud of herself with her lovely rosette! I am pleased the little Cocker managed to pass

Well done to you both, think the test is as much about us as it is about the dogs doing it right.
So Congrats all round.

I agree with your comment about a test for both of us Longhope, completely agree, very right indeed! Our neerrves always go crazy don't they! I think humans are just worried of how the dog will do more than anything!
