What is a “Title”?: Are we being graded??

Let's say you are starting out and have never run with your dog in a trial before. You would be in the "Starters" level.

In the Starters level, you need 3 qualifyng Standard runs under at least two judges to get an Agility Dog of Canada title (ADC), and just like that [says she who still has not achieved this!] your dog has a title and are in Advanced standard.

Two qualifying runs in each "Game" (Gamblers, Snooker, and Jumpers) under at least two judges earns a Starters Games Dog of Canada (SGDC) title.

The Standard and Games titles are independent of one another. You could be in Starters Standard runs and in Advanced Games runs.

OK. That will get you out of Starters and into the Advanced Level [where everything gets a little more challenging!]. See the AAC site for the titleing requirements at the higher levels.
