14 Suggested Best Practices for the Well-Being of Dog Sport Participants

The AKC supports each club's informed decision to reschedule, postpone or cancel their respective events, as well as supporting clubs ready to hold events in locations that are open and permit gatherings. As events resume across the country, people need to feel safe while enjoying their dog activities. The AKC urges clubs to take appropriate precautions for the benefit of their participants. Events need to be held in a manner that emphasizes the safety of participants and event officials over efficiency.

The following is a list of suggested best practices that may be helpful when planning or attending an event. Event locations, facilities and dates will differ. With a situation that is continually evolving, it is up to the clubs to determine the guidelines that best fit their event. In order to inform participants, specific guidelines established by the club/cluster should be published in the premium, show catalog, club website and posted on signage/flyers at their event.

General Practices

1. Clubs, officials and participants are required to follow state, local and facility guidelines that apply to the area and site where the event is held.

2. Practice social distancing consistent with guidelines in effect at the time of the event. Avoid congregating to the extent possible.

3. Consider wearing masks when in close proximity to others. Clubs should provide masks if desired for officials, judges and volunteers.

4. Consider wearing disposable or washable gloves.

5. Wash hands as frequently as possible. Have disinfecting spray at bathroom facilities for people to spray door handles (or anything else they touch). Consider hiring bathroom attendants to maintain maximum cleanliness.

6. If you utilize portable toilets, please ask for a hand washing station(s) to be delivered as well.

7. Avoid shaking hands, hugging, or other physical contact.

8. Avoid touching dogs that are not your responsibility.

9. Avoid common use pens/pencils – bring your own.

10. Disinfect surfaces in common use areas as often as possible (tables, chairs, doorknobs, etc.) Clubs and facilities may consider not providing chairs.

11. Meals - Avoid or stagger group lunches/dinners if possible. Hospitality areas should avoid community items such as salt and pepper shakers, condiments, creamers, etc. Participants should consider bringing their own lunch/drinks.

12. Vendors should follow retail guidelines for the area.

13. Parking – Park with sufficient distance between vehicles if possible. If there is a parking fee, ask exhibitors to bring exact change.

14. Parking/unloading staff should wear masks and sanitize their hands following the assistance of each individual.
