:confused:

I did a test on-line and paid $90. It took a week for the blue card to be sent to me.

Thanks for that. Do you know whether or not the blue card has an expiry date?

I used the blue dog training site last Monday or Tuesday and got my card in the post on Friday. It cost $90 and took about an hour and a half . Easy as, and quick too!

Hubby turned me onto it as he did his about 6 months back and I didn't relish sitting by myself in a seminar training course with a bunch of blokey-blokes.:p
