How to use HTM Bookings

Browse and identify the show type

Find shows open for booking and use the filters for KC Competitions, Training Shows, Fun Shows, HTMA shows or Workshops. Check the type, date, entry window and venue before opening the show.

Open documents and results

The show page displays the schedule and full running order once published. Use score sheets for public results. If a document is missing, it has probably not been published yet.

Questions about an event, entry or running order should go to that show's organiser.

Create an account or sign in

New owners register with their name, email and a password of at least 10 characters. Returning owners use Sign in. The Forgot password link starts the secure reset process.

Use one account for all your dogs and future shows; do not register again for each event.

Add every dog you may enter

From the dashboard choose Your Dogs, then Add a Dog. Enter the registered name, breed, date of birth and KC or ATC number accurately. You only need to do this once per dog (NOTE - This cannot be edited once saved.)

If a show entry form says ‘Add your dog first’, use its link and then you will be returned to the show form afterwards.

Find the show on Available Shows

On the owner dashboard select Available Shows. Check the show-type badge and closing date, expand Classes if needed, then choose Enter Show.

Add dog-and-class entries to one draft

Choose the dog and class, add the music title and artist, and optionally upload or reuse music files. Save the entry to draft, then repeat for every additional dog or class.

Saving does not submit anything. Keep adding entries until the whole booking is ready.

Review the whole draft and help availability

Open Review and submit. Edit or remove entries while still in draft. For a KC competition, select the classes and roles where you can help, then read and accept the declaration once for the whole booking.

Submitted entries are final. Check the dog, class, show day and music before continuing.

Submit, pay and follow the booking status

Submit all entries and continue to payment. Pay with Stripe, or request BACS/cheque if that option is offered. The booking is confirmed only after payment is recorded. 'Current bookings' then displays music, running orders and score sheets.

A draft is not an entry, and a submitted but unpaid booking is not confirmed.

Check capacity, fee and rounds per place

Open the Training Show from Available shows. The details panel shows overall capacity, places taken, places currently available and the fee per place.

A place is a bundle of training rounds. It is not tied to a named dog or competition class.

Request places and assign music to rounds

Enter the number of places wanted. Each place gives the number of rounds shown by the organiser. Upload a music file, reuse music files, or leave a round to complete later, then Save and review request.

Music belongs to Round 1, Round 2 and so on—not to a dog or class entry.

Submit: places are either reserved or waitlisted

Accept the declaration, then submit. Available places are held for 30 minutes so you can pay. If you request more than remain, only available places are held and the rest are clearly waitlisted.

You cannot pay for waitlisted places. Released places are first come, first served when you choose Claim any available places.

Know when a Training place is secure

Stripe payment confirms held places. A place is secure only when the organiser receives payment and confirms capacity. The organiser later assigns rounds to class slots.

Keep checking the booking if waitlisted. Add or reorder round music before the organiser's deadline.
