How Do I Earn Trick Titles?
In order to earn your Trick Titles, first you need to teach your dog some fun tricks! Need help teaching your tricks? Join the Pack of Joy! (Full details above).
Then you need to have a Certified Trick Dog Instructor (CTDI) witness those tricks, either virtually or in-person. As your Certified Trick Dog Instructors, I can witness your tricks for you to earn titles!
Once I have witnessed and approved your tricks, and you have met eligibility requirements for that title level, you can submit your title application to Do More With Your Dog! to earn your title. You will get a Title Certificate and can also receive a Title Ribbon and other swag!
Ready to Submit Your Videos for Your Title Evaluation?
Just video your dog performing their tricks and upload it to youtube, vimeo, or google drive. Your videos can be edited together in one video or can be multiple videos. Then email me the link or attach the video directly to your email!

Cost
Witnessing is FREE via video. I LOVE watching your awesome dogs do their tricks, so I do not charge for trick video witnessing. You only need to pay the title application fee and shipping to DMWYD (if you picked a physical item option). Cost varies depending on the title and which certificate and swag options you pick.
