Woohoo! OMG, he passed! I cannot even believe it.

I was SURE he was going to get scared and quit, but he nailed it. Perfect heel. Perfect sit. Didn't freak out during distractions. The Delta tester called him the best of our class and complimented him on his loose-leash walk.

There are 20 categories, and both dog and instructor are rated, with 2 being the maximum score. We got all 2's except for a single 1 that was my fault. He got a little jumpy when three people crowded us and all wanted to pet him. If I had asked one of them to step away, we would have gotten a 2. My bad.

I did wimp out and tested him as a little dog, so I was able to carry him during some of the encounters. All that means is I have to carry him into and out of the hospital. I can put him down in the hallways and rooms.

Sorry for such a long brag. I've been bragging a lot this weekend, but I'm especially proud of Eddie today. It was much more thorough than the CGC test. All our hard work paid off!

Thanks for the good wishes everybody.
