But even now that I know the difference, I can't honestly say Abbie or I would be better trained if we had gone to Delta. I think the really great thing about Delta is that because it takes so long and they put you and your dog through so much, it tends to weed out those who aren't very serious about becoming certified.

This is so true - I couldn't believe what Delta makes you go through to get certified - again - when I was viewing their certification on Saturday - I was there a half day and probably 6 dogs came through for testing (each test was about 45-60 minutes) and not one dog was passed and they only test 2x a year in our area. But now I know what they are looking for.
