Pet shows are exciting for any dedicated pet owner. It is a time when you can show off all of the skills you have been teaching your dog. Let the world see how amazing they are, how gorgeous they look and what they are truly capable of. But, it can be daunting for the animal. So, what steps can you take to ensure your dog is ready for its first show?

Firstly, leading up to the show, you should take some time to finalise their training. Ensure they have all the tricks you want them to showcase perfected. This can help to prevent any embarrassment. You should also practice these tricks in front of other dogs to see how your pet copes with distractions from an audience.

In the days leading up to the show, you want to give your dog a full doggie makeover. Send them to the best groomers in your area to ensure they are looking their best. This will help them to wow the judges and feel ready for what they are about to face.
