Am really proud and relieved Rusty passed his grade 2 exam today - with merit! 59/60 for the obedience section but heeling out for the go back he was so close I accidentally stood on his toe making him scream, which set off the examiners dogs which completely freaked him out. Eventually got him focussed enough to continue - the examiner was lovely but he was still nervy - all in all I was relieved just to pass so a merit was a bonus
