Everyone is always very understanding and encouraging. I have seen many judges that were very patient with puppies and newbies. You will do just fine. Just the fact that you are going to handling classes shows me that you are willing and anxious to learn. Being in the show ring is not a lot different than the handling class.

Thanks! Actually you just about summed up all my fears! In handling classes Libby does great when we are going around but when they have me to a triangle or an "L" she gets confused and just stops and she looks at me as if to say "You're going the wrong way!" I have a really hard time getting her going again. I know I really have to work on that...
