1. Ensure all dogs have the required vaccinations and licenses prior to entering them in a dog show. 
2. Research various types of dog shows - including AKC events and specialty shows- in order to determine which type of event best fits your needs. 
3. Develop a written list of guidelines for exhibiting in your dog show, such as rules regarding ring etiquette, time lines for enteries, health requirements and prizes or titles on offer that can be won at the event; distribute these guidelines among participants well in advance of the event date.
4. Find suitable judges that are experienced with the breeds that will be exhibited at your show and ensure they will have sufficient opportunity to evaluate the competition; request confirmation from any prospective judges before making a definitive booking. 
5. Promote your event extensively using multiple platforms such as social media websites, local publications and via posters around your neighborhood or town . 
6. On show day allocate adequate space per entry while also leaving enough walking/viewing area for visitors surrounding exhibition rings; make sure there is also ample room available outside ringside area during rain interference so visitors do not get too muddied if conditions suddenly change mid-show).  7 Create orderly schedule so all competitors know when their classes are proceedings & ensure ring stewards enforce timing correctly throughout entire day without disruptiion (or delays if possible).   8 Have staffed registration booths operational both prior too during opening hours & arrange efficient security / clean up crew when necessary (if events last over multiple days).

Organizing a successful dog show takes careful planning and preparation. Begin by selecting an appropriate venue with sufficient space for the number of dogs that will be entering. Decide on a judging format, and set clear guidelines for entering dogs and applying to judge. Be sure to promote your event effectively through newspapers, social media and other marketing outlets, including reaching out to breeders and clubs related to the breeds being shown. On the day of the show prepare enough pens or rings for each breed entering, in addition make sure there are enough Grooming areas as well as provisions for watering and feeding any exhibiting dogs – it’s essential these be available throughout the course of competition/exhibition.. Finally ensure there are volunteers prepared to assist with stewarding, taking entries etc., or even just offering moral support!
