Posted: Sat Oct 08, 2011 10:26 am Post subject: Bronze Award Tomorrow! Results pg 3
I've been posting about Bran's training updates for a while and explained how we've cracked clicker training at long last, but tomorrow is his bronze exam and I am nervous as all hell!!
I *know* that he can do everything that he needs to do. At his exam rehearsal on Thursday evening, the only thing that we didn't do first time was our recall and that was because I called him before I was told to
We've been up to the park this morning and I've made sure that he knows to wait now until I call him and he's held the 'wait' even when Casey was dancing around him and barking or when Jacob was throwing the ball for Casey so I'm hoping it's set in stone now!
I don't know how many of the questions I'll remember but will hopefully flannel it if I need to
The only thing that can go wrong now is if he wakes up tomorrow in one of his silly moods. At home, this usually means emptying the toy box and leaping around on the sofas and winding the puppies up all day. What it'll mean if he's in that mood whilst taking a test I really don't know
Please wish us luck!!!

Oh good luck Sarah!! im sure you'll pass with flying colours.
We have our silver test on Monday evening!! i dont think we will pass it as i cannot get Jake to STAY!! for toffee at the moment! but still we will turn up, make the numbers up and put it down to experience
Very, very best of luck. Again the only advice is poo bag and legal tag.
Oh, and have you perfected your 'discreet rugby tackle' for the grooming part?
Tag and bags sorted I didn't need the rugby tackle as on Thursday he held a lovely 'stand' for handling and a lovely 'sit' for grooming
