Trick Dog Titles

DID YOU KNOW you can earn official Trick Titles with your dog?

Now you can have fun teaching tricks to your dog, and then you get to show them off to earn your titles!

DogWorks can help you earn your Trick Dog Titles through Do More With Your Dog!


Do More With Your Dog (DMWYD) is a recognized sanctioning body for the sport of Dog Tricks, and they issue official Trick Dog Titles for dogs who can perform a variety of dog tricks!
 
There are four standard trick title levels: Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert. 

Then you can also earn the Trick Dog Champion and Trick Dog Grand Champion titles!

There are also Masters level titles and fun Specialty titles to earn too!

HOW DO I EARN TRICK TITLES?

In order to earn your Trick Titles, first you need to teach your dog some fun tricks! 

Different tricks are considered different levels of difficulty and so will apply to certain titles. Check the tricks section below for more information on which tricks to work on!

Then you need to have a Certified Trick Dog Instructor (CTDI) witness those tricks.

Both DogWorks Trick instructors, Dove and Julia, are Certified Trick Dog Instructors, and can witness your tricks for you to earn titles!

Once one of us has witnessed and approved your tricks, (see Witnessing section below) and you have shown enough tricks to earn the title, you can submit the title application to earn your title!

You will get a Title Certificate and can also receive a Ribbon and other goodies!

COSTS

Witnessing is FREE via video 🙂 Our trainers LOVE watching your awesome dogs do their tricks, so we do not charge for our trick video witnessing. We just ask for a little patience as we do the witnessing around our busy training schedule. 

You only need to pay the title application fee and shipping (if you picked a physical item option). Cost varies depending on the title and which certificate and swag options you pick.

We can’t wait to witness all of your amazing dog’s tricks!
