Each category has graduated levels of achievement from basic to advanced. Titles are awarded by the CCC (Q) and you and your dog must have achieved qualifying scores at three Trials under at least two different Judges in that Class. 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.
