hi all-
i am just wondering if anyone has suggestions about getting into showing. i don't have my own dog yet, but my friend is getting a 6 month old dog (non-cavalier) this weekend that she wants to do therapy work with as well as obediance and agility competition. as part of the dog's training, she wants the dog exposed to many different situations and places and asked me if i would show her dog.
the dog comes from "working dog" lines and won't win any comformation event but its just for fun. it will get the dog used to different situations and will help me figure out if showing is something i would want to do with my future cavalier. me and the dog are plannign to go to a few classes at a local dog obediance school and i don't yet have any idea what that'll teach us, but any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks!!!!
