Not sure of the requirements in all the groups, but our group we have to have Beginning Obedience (10 wks), Novice Obedience (10 wks), and pass your Canine Good Citizen test. I do know in the other groups they have tests also.

I find it very rewarding and haven't had a bit of trouble with anyone being rough with her. You just have to keep a close watch just in case.
Good luck!
Thank you!
Once I am settled back in canada, I will definately look them up!! thanks!
