Carina,
Thank you for that information! :)
I think that's amazing they let you bring Cooper at 5-7 months of age!
It brings a question to mind. How did you paint and watch him? I'm sure you did a great job but I'm curious to know how you did it. Did you just crate him when you couldn't watch him? I think it's great.
It sounds like it's easy if you have the right dog to become certified. I didn't know there was an 35.00 annual fee, so thanks for posting this. It's no big deal, but it's good to know.
After you pass the test, do you ever have to renew the test?
