News!
TDI has changed its test requirements. Handlers should check their website to make sure you can pass the new test.
TDI has revised its policy about the testing and registration of "Deaf Dogs".
Deaf dogs can be tested and registered if they pass an additional test especially for Deaf Dogs only. This test is called the "Startle Test".
AKC announced that as of January 1, 2013, the Canine Good Citizen will become a title.
