Thanks guys!!
Am looking forward to it, and even if we never get to any kind of competing standard, if we can master some basic heelwork and attention to me (typical spaniel, she's always got her nose to the ground) it's got to be a good thing.
To be honest I signed myself up just seeing the word "clicker" and not registering that Obedience was a particular event (rather than general "good behaviour"). Honey responds so well to the clicker, and we were looking to do some kind of formal training to help us tire her out over the winter months. But I do think it will do us good, and give us a good grounding for any future training...
I'm sure the instructors will be patient with us - I have made it clear we're beginners, and they didn't seem concerned.... every other session is actually a group "help each other" session, so it's all about learning together, whatever standard everyone is at...
Won't stop me panicking on Monday evening though!!
I know I need to not expect too much from Honey, especially at first, as it will all be very very exciting... so we'll just sit back and take it all in!
