Debating whether or not to test my pup at the all breed herding test and comp tomorrow. His recall is not yet 100% especially when he's distracted. Today on his walk there were geese walking around he would not break eye contact. Not even for a treat.

The only reason I'm even considering going though is because there's a Schutzhund club putting it on that I'm interested in joining and it would be nice to see if Gunther's instincts kick in when herding. I have no use for him to herd haha I live in the suburbs

Here's the cost of the testing: Herding Instinct (HCT) $28 ea, Herding Capability $28 ea; it doesn't seem that unreasonable to me but what's the difference between the Instinct and Capability?
