First Ringcraft Class Tonight!

Well Isla's now reached the point where she needs some "guidance"!

So off to Ringcraft we go, so far I've taught her to stand whilst stacked, free standing (not v sucessful!) and walking to heel.

Anyone got any tips to help my first class go smoothly?

Apparently there are "a lot of new pups" in the group, thought this was great at first - but I'm not entirely sure if it'll help her concentration levels! Or mine!

Don't wory everyone is in the same boat they wouldn't be there unless their dog needed some fine tuning,people in the class will be ready to offer advice if you go wrong and dogs can always sense if you're nervous,it travels straight down the lead so relax and enjoy it,its supposed to be fun aswell as good practice ya know

Good luck I'm sure you'll do fine

Good luck - it sounds to me as though you have done plenty of homework, so you will be fine

Have fun.

remember to enjoy it - and more importantly ensure your pup enjoys it.

I would be more concerned about a pup who behaved itself and did everything right, than played up a bit.

I like puppies to be puppies, and NOT automatons.
