At what age did your Cav get spayed/neutered?

Daisy was three.
I was told earlier of someone who lost a bitch to pyometra today.It's nasty and an emergency spay is traumatic for both bitch and owner.
I'd prefer to allow a bitch to have her first season if she can be kept secure and safe during it.
Much better to spay a non breeding bitch and not have to worry about Pyometra.

Maddie was spayed 3 months after her first season, making her about 11 months old at the time. Pippin was castrated at 18 months old, and only because we were planning on getting another puppy, preferably a girl and I knew I would want her to have one season. As it happened that puppy didn't happen. :(

My personal preference is to let them mature, go through puberty and have their growth plates closed, before I start messing with their hormones by neutering.

In answer to your question about when they typically come into season for the first time, it does vary, but I think it averages out to about 8 months old. This would mean you could do the course you want and may still have time to have Brooklyn neutered before her first season. Or you could do the course and let her have one season then have her neutered 3 months after?
