AKC TRICK DOG by Video
- Dog owners teach tricks to their dogs at home
- When the dog has learned the tricks for the title, the dog owner sends a video (via a link, etc) of the dog performing the tricks to an AKC CGC Evaluator.
- The Evaluator reviews the video. Any fee arrangements for the Evaluator's time are between the Evaluator and the dog owner.
- Once the Evaluator reviews and approves the video, the Evaluator sends a copy of the Video Verification form
- to the DOG OWNER confirming that the dog passed the test, and
- to AKC at trickdog@akc.org
Then, to apply for the title, the DOG OWNER must send to AKC:
- a copy of the VIDEO VERIFICATION form from the Evaluator (the Evaluator will also send a copy to AKC)
- the Trick Dog Title Application, and
- TRICKS CHECKLIST (for each title level submitted).
- Dog owners may choose to still have their Tricks test witnessed in person
- Evaluators may choose whether or not they will offer video reviews
