Trick Dog
Do More With Your Dog (DMWYD) is the dedicated trick-titling organization. Founded by Kyra Sundance, it predates AKC's program by more than a decade and reports over 100,000 titles in 60+ countries. Standard titles are evaluated by Certified Trick Dog Instructors (CTDIs); handlers can attend a CTDI in person or, more commonly, submit titling videos. That video pathway is the practical reason DMWYD reaches handlers in regions without local CGC evaluators and across international borders. Eligibility is fully open — any breed, any mix, any registration status. Reactive dogs and dogs in regions with sparse club infrastructure benefit most from this model. Title progression: Novice Trick Dog (NTD, 15 tricks), Intermediate (ITD, 12 tricks), Advanced (ATD, 5 tricks, off leash) and Expert (ETD, 5 tricks, off leash), then Trick Dog Champion (TDCH) and Grand Champion (TDGCH), both judged by DMWYD staff from video. Optional Masters titles are earned after each level for handlers who want to show breadth. Titles cost $28 each; TDCH and TDGCH are $115.
