| Get plenty of sleep the night before and trust your dog. :) He is what he is......being nervous runs down lead. You two will be fine :) Best of luck!!!

| A few tips: Your dog must wear a flat buckle collar during exam, make sure to bring one. You are not allowed to talk to your dog during the test. You ARE allowed to talk to the bucket during the hidden noise test. If your dog is nervous you are allowed to speak to the bucket and act interested in it, to get your dog to approach. You ARE allowed to touch the umbrella if your dog is fearful of approaching it. Hold the leash firmly with both hands during the weird stranger portion, just encase your dog wants to move in closer. The judge should go over all of this with you before the test. Listen closely to what is expected, that way you know what is going to happen when you are out on the field. It really is quite simple and nothing to be worried about. The hardest part is not being able to talk to your dog. Best of luck! Dawn U-CD Cammcastle's Mystic Riven CD NA NAC NGC TT CGC |
