Thinking about Hosting an AKC Canine Experience?
Hosting an AKC Canine Experience can be great exposure for your club by helping you attract new club members, increase the entries in your shows and trials and achieve media coverage. We have many resources available to help you alert your local media to your event. Two templates exist on the Club Communications Media Templates web page. A customizable press release is available to send to press a week or two before your event to attract coverage of the event or get a calendar of events listing. A customizable media alert is available to send to press two or three days before the AKC Canine Experience to invite them to come and write about it. By sending press releases and media alerts about events to your local media, you are going to attract more attendees, so it's important to remember the important role the press plays in the success of your event. If you’d like to attend an event, here are some AKC Canine Experiences coming up: Aug. 7-8 – Seattle, WA Aug. 7-8 – Oklahoma City, OK Sept. 11 – Lake Elmo, MN Sept. 18 – Claremore, OK If you have hosted or attended a recent AKC Canine Experience, please send us photos and videos to post on www.akc.org and our Facebook page!

An AKC Canine Experience is a multi-club, multi-sport event that introduces and welcomes owners of newly AKC-registered puppies to and educates them about the sport of purebred dogs. The day-long event features educational presentations and provides an opportunity for potential owners to be mentored by experienced exhibitors and club members prior to an afternoon match, during which new exhibitors and future fanciers practice their newly learned skills. Only licensed and member clubs are eligible to host an AKC Canine Experience. A guide has been created to assist you when conducting an AKC Canine Experience in your area.
