Titre Testing In Sydney?

[enna]

I want to take one of my dogs to obedience hopefully, she is a bit funny with strangers (dogs & humans - not aggressive but is scared and will bark at them) so I am hoping that it would be a good way to socialise her as well as strengthen our relationship with some training.

I haven't had Narla vaccinated for the last two years because the last time she was vaccinated she reacted quite badly. She went into shock and by the time I got her home from the vet she couldn't move at all and her gums were ghost white. I rushed her back and they took her into the treatment room (I'm not sure exactly what they did), she came out a while later and she could move, but was still not quite right for around a fortnight.

I don't want to risk that again! So I want to get a titre test done hopefully.

Where can you get it done? Is it mainly larger vet clinics that do it?

Does anyone know if any obedience clubs in Sydney even accept it?

And as a side note... is it OK to even take a dog who reacts to strangers to obedience classes? The more she is around other people and dogs the better she gets. As I said, she is not aggressive, just nervous of strangers. She will bark and then hide behind my legs usually. I am already doing training/socialisation with her myself but I thought that this might help her, as well as give me some pointers. I don't have many friends who have or like dogs, so I'm really limited in how much exposure I can give her to strange people/dogs on my own.

There is a lab in Perth which does titre testing and its where my vet sent off blood for testing.

more and more clubs accept titer tests, you just need to ask them about it
