Default When to start going for CD?

Just wondering when you guys started your dog on the CD title. Mine is currently 18 months old and he has gotten his BN. I am going to start him on RN, just waiting for close enough shows to pop up. He should be able to get that one in 3 shows, but I'd like to get the CD soon also. When did you know your dog was ready for the novice ring? I know his off-leash heeling isn't where it needs to be for in the ring, but I'd just like to gauge how he's doing compared to others.

I started my previous female at 18 months, 3 straight shows, q'd with two high in trials..she hated it, I told her if she got her cd I'd stop doing obedience and switch to agility which is what we did

How did I gage if she was ready, I just kinda dove into it 'feeling' she was and well she was

Frank started and finished his CD at 17 months, he did it in 3 straight shows. with a first and two second finishs. I put him in the BN first at just 13 months and he handled it well so I went a head and jumped into the CD.
We're training for his CDX now and I"m using the Rally to show in till he's ready for the CDX.
