Each category has graduated levels of achievement from basic to advanced. Titles are awarded by the CCC (Q) and you and your dog must achieve the amount of qualifying scores at Trials that the particular title you are trying to achieve. The ultimate qualification is Obedience Grand Champion, which involves a combination of titles in the above categories.
The club can assist with training in all these areas.
