We did our first AKC show with little to no help and it did not go well so I'm trying to avoid a repeat. | How old is the dog and what class will you be showing in? Young dogs aren't required to run as much as adults (usually). You will run around the interior of a large outdoor ring. You will run several times....once after the initial examination...then all dogs will run at the same time after all dogs have been examined. Wear comfortable clothing and tennis shoes in the ring. Practice showing the dog's teeth...front bite, sides, and all the way in the back. Have someone along that can help bait your dog from the outside of the ring with a favorite toy to help the dog look alert and attentive.
