Sorry she didn't pass (this time, anyway).
Too funny that you kinda enjoyed the way she flunked...he he he. Hard stare, low growl, I'd be intimidated, too, I think.

It is a simple little test, and she was doing great until the bride was to hand the leash to a 'stranger' for a 15 minute or so 'time away and out of sight.'...But she didn't like the idea of another person taking her leash.
Honestly, this portion of the test seems bogus to me. Why on earth should your dog feel comfortable being handed over to a stranger while you leave the room for 15 minutes?
Sorry she didn't pass but Freya sounds like a very smart girl

Yay! Congratulations, Freya! At least there are still a few German Shepherds who don't act like Golden Retrievers!

We flunked this test too. My dog didn't growl, he just drug
the poor women holding the leash around the building until
he found me. No nursing homes for us either.
I agree with Sarah. I was happier with his reaction than if
we would have passed.

Me too. Never did get that. Anyone know what it's about? The test is supposed to be "simulated day-to-day situations."

I know it doesn't make a difference to the topic of discussion really, but Item 10 of the AKC CGC requires supervised separation for only 3 minutes, not 15.
Its an item that is easily trained for with some repetition and treats, if that's what you want your dog to do. I can understand why some folks wouldn't want this, however.

QUOTE:
Test 10: Supervised separation
This test demonstrates that a dog can be left with a trusted person, if necessary, and will maintain training and good manners. Evaluators are encouraged to say something like, "Would you like me to watch your dog?" and then take hold of the dog's leash. The owner will go out of sight for three minutes. The dog does not have to stay in position but should not continually bark, whine, or pace unnecessarily, or show anything stronger than mild agitation or nervousness. Evaluators may talk to the dog but should not engage in excessive talking, petting, or management attempts (e.g, "there, there, it's alright").END QUOTE

For me, its an incredibly important thing. Since my dog is a disaster search dog and we are members of a large federal task force, there will be times when I might hand the leash to a teammate so I could to go to the bathroom or whatever. We teach the dog an out-of-sight down stay for this reason too. Regardless of whether he's in a down stay or I hand the leash to somebody, my dog (regardless of his breed) is not permitted to growl at anybody, no matter of how well/little the dog knows a person.
As for pet dogs, I can't think of any time that I would hand the leash to a complete stranger and walk away.

Gotcha.
No, I would never be handing the leash to a stranger and walking away. I've trained dogs for it, but I never "got it."

There is one situation that I experienced that I was glad my dogs (at the time) were stranger friendly.
I was in a car accident (the dogs were with but they did not get hurt) in which I shattered my right arm. I had to be taken away in an ambulance. A verrrry nice fireman on scene took my dogs home for me. Had they not been friendly, who knows what would have happened to them.
I worry about that now when I have Cat and Toni in the car.
Just my 2 cents.
