It is always more fun when you go with a group. Enroll in a handling class. I always suggest that you use a pet dog for the class. Get your puppy out for about 10 minutes. Do your learning on your pet dog.
Nothing bores a puppy more than practicing, over and over again.
Your first dog is your learning dog. Do not worry, most of us did it. Watch many people show dogs. Observe and learn. Decide on a style.
