Ann, for the silver, which I think you can print off from the kennel club you have to:
1 - play with dog - (to demonstrate the dog will play with you in a controlled manner)
2 - Road Walk - (to demonstrate dog can walk along public highway under control)
3 - Rejoin Handler - (dog to remain steady, off lead, while the handler moves away, the dog is then recalled when instructed)
4- Stay in one place for two minutes - (in any position of your choice and in sight but have to stay in position told to)
5 - Vehicle Control - (get in car and stay quiet while owner gets in and turns engine on and then get out)
6 - Come away from distractions - (dog come away when asked from other dogs etc)
7 - Controlled Greeting - (not to jump up when someone comes and says hello - Maggie's hardest!)
8 - Food manners - (being good while you eat)
9 - Examine dog - (self explanatory)
10 - Responsibility and Care (questions)

As I say you can get a more detailed print off from the kennel club.

Ali - it wasn't Maggie - we never got around to taking the bronze so now we are working towards silver and hoping to take both at the end of Jan/Feb 09
