We all had to start somewhere and you are doing great by going to handling classes. I still learn something new in class. It also gives another place for others to go over and check your dogs. When you are at shows too - watch and see what the others are doing. Take in what looks good and feels right. Just remember others make mistakes too and you do not want to pick up thier mistakes. I was at one of my first shows after returning to the show ring and felt a little unsure of myself. I saw someone - constantly brushing their yorkie in the ring, infact the judge was having to wait on them a little too long. But I thoght this is what you have to do. So I did it! I later read - it was totally wrong. You don't have to constantly make sure that each hair is in its place every second. But I learned. And you will too.
Good luck!
