I've been working on his Gold with a new training club, but it sounds like their examiner is a bit of a dragon and doesn't give allowances for breed and generally fails dogs that show any reluctance at being examined, and also fails if we 'train' our dogs to be examined. :err: She apparently has dogs that will let anyone poke them about and thinks all dogs should be the same! So I had a quiet word with the trainer (who is lovely and very good but does talk a lot so we don't always get much done) and she's said keep training, she will examine Fred every week how he is comfortable and as he gets more at ease will push a tiny bit each week, and every time she pushes and he accepts it another club member will do a quick examine so he gets used to being inspected by strangers. And then we are going to take the test either where we took the Silver, or at the clubs second hall/classes which will have another examiner!
