My first dog, The sheltie cross, took it, it wasn't officially awarded but it had all the tests in it. It was actually put on by some guide dog trainers, but my dog happens to be there so she did it. Even more amazing, she was totally deaf at the time. I can't remember all of the things she did, but some of it included me being out of her sight for a certain amount of time. And of course lots of distractions. And I think it was all off leash if I remember right. She passed it with no problem. My second dog has no chance in the world but I still love her.
