About Top Dog Events
Top Dog Events helps Australian clubs replace admin chaos with a smoother way to run events, from first entry to final payout.
Built with trial secretaries in mind, it reduces paperwork, payment chasing, and manual result handling so your team can focus on running a great day.
What Top Dog helps your club do
Spend less time fixing spreadsheets, preparing paperwork, and answering repetitive emails - and more time running a well-organised event.
- Before the event: online entries, secure payments, refunds, and ballots
- On the day: ring management, eScribing, live updates, and published results
- After the event: qualification cards, club payouts, and clear statements
- For competitors: dog profiles, past results, title tracking, and self-service changes
- For secretaries: catalogues, score sheets, judging sheets, and fewer manual follow-ups
- Across the season: email updates, volunteer tools, and Dogs Australia integration
For Trial Secretaries
Top Dog gives trial secretaries one place to manage entries, payments, paperwork, catalogues, and results. Instead of juggling forms, spreadsheets, and inboxes, you can see what is paid, what still needs attention, and what is ready for event day.
For Competitors
Competitors get a simpler experience too. They can enter and pay from any device, keep their dogs' details in one place, follow results online, and make changes themselves without back-and-forth emails, where club settings allow.
Our Story
Top Dog Events started after seeing firsthand how much work landed on trial secretaries. Paper forms, cheques, spreadsheets, hand-tallied results, and endless follow-up made every event more stressful than it needed to be.
What began as a simpler way to manage entries and results gradually became a complete event platform. Today, Top Dog helps clubs across Australia run events with less admin, fewer manual errors, and a better experience for competitors from start to finish.
