How Did You Get Started?

I want to go for a CD with my female. I think that is a really good place to start with titling.

She is extremely obedient and willing. She is only basic obedience trained, but I have already got enrolled into an obedience class to sharpen that up. Me too; I need as much training as the dog does because I never ever actually stepped into a ring with a dog before. Many many horses but never a dog.

I am aiming for first show to be May in Ottawa because it is very close to me.

So ideas, advice, anything to help me prepare myself and my dog.

Tips anything!

Obedience classes might help. Even if your dog doesn't really need them, they help your dog to obey better around distractions and other dogs.

Also take your dog out to parks, petsmart and any other dog-friendly places to get her used to being in the crowd and other dogs.

Good luck!
