What are titles?

   The AKC (and other organizations) give you and your dog a chance to ​ show what you have learned. And in the process you earn titles. In obedience you can earn a Companion Dog (CD), Companion Dog Excellent (CDX) or Utility Dog (UD) titles plus more. And you can go on from there to Masters and champion levels. ​
And there are similar titles in Rally.  Obedience and Rally are known as companion sports.  There are performance sports too. Some, like tracking, are open to all breeds and some, like herding are limited to breeds specifically used for herding.   While the Berks County Dog Training Club doesn’t offer training in all the sports, our obedience gives you the foundation to move into many areas and the contacts to find the training you are interested in.
   BCDTC Awards banquet recognizes member's efforts in many training areas. It is attended by people who have worked hard and earned titles during the previous year and by their friends, families and fellow trainers.
   Consider joining us this February for our annual event. And if your dog earned something, let us know and be included in the festivities.
Earning your plaque at no charge
