I'd start going to shows where the dog of your choice can be found and if you see a dog you like, start talking to the owner.

The ATTS test is only stressful in that they introduce your dog to things they may not be used to. For the whole test you have your dog on a flat collar and leash. You don't correct or direct the dog though you can offer encouragement if they hesitate. You meet a stranger that ignores the dog, one that gives the dog LOTS of attention, loud noises from behind screens, walking over fencing, etc. Here's a video of my friend's deaf pitbull taking the test. While Cow does great cause she can't hear a lot of the things you get the idea of what goes on. It's really interesting to see the guardian breeds take the test and watch their reaction to the "crazy person" at the end of the test.
