I need to train my dog for a dog show and I need tips?

Im young girl who has a four year old American Cocker Spaniel.
She is doing well with training so far and we are going walks now and she gets some training out that. Sometimes. I need really good tips though maybe if you know any websites. Also this will be my first dog show and Hannah’s first also (Hannah is my dog).
If you know any dog shows for kids around Indiana that are good for first timers that would be great. I have been to dog shows and I have seen them on TV so I know a lot about that. Thank You
I have also put her on a diet to help loose weight. I have been taking notes as well at school
If you know any places on the internet where get some health dog food recipes that would be great also:)
oh sorry I didnt say what kind I mean like the ones when they walk beside you

    For starters, go to the AKC website and buy the tape they produce on your breed. It includes lots of tips on training, conditioning, exhibiting and grooming. It also discusses the many activities that you can participate in: conformation, obedience, agility, etc., etc..

    While you are on the AKC site, look up “dog clubs” to find the one nearest you. Go to their next meeting to meet the people involved. I can almost guarantee you will find someone to help you learn the dog-game. And yes, there are separate classes for ‘juniour handlers.’
