Don't know how Jack would get on. He never performs in class the way he does at home. He was awful on Sunday yet when we came home I worked in the garden with him and he was great. Our aim is to get him performing this way in class. Willing to try. |

i think I am still traumatised from the last ones at the old club, cos when I read this I felt the cold grip of fear!
But I'll see what the score is with the new tests and decide then.

The last blind testing at the old club was the main reason I left.................I will never blind test anyone............it is simply not acceptable, so many friends were upset by it and as much as I knew this i had to abide by a committee decision so had no choice.
If people want to sit a test they can ............if they don't then equally that is no problem. _________________ John Thomson

that's exactly it Linsey. We want people to have the choice. Some people like working toward a particular level and gaining a certificate or whatever, some others prefer not to feel stressed by this which I TOTALLY understand.
That's the reason for giving everyone the choice. It is no problem nor does it make any difference to the way classes are run if anyone chooses to sit them out. |

I have to admit I also felt that cold chill again with the memory of the last fiasco at the club.
However, as this is the school with John and Marcella, I feel much happier that you guys will make sure things are done properly. It will be great to put bad memories to rest with some fun tests where people and dogs just achieve. _________________ Regards,

[quote="shirley c"]I think that as long as its not compulsory
I think everyone would be able to put themselves forward for it ................ or not if they didn't want to. Am I right in saying this? Just a guess you understand |
