Question 1

What is the GCA Trick Titling Process?

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Earn Your Title 
Review the requirements and prerequisites for each title you plan to earn. This will help you plan and prepare for the challenges at each level.

Step 2: Order Your Title 
Once you've decided on which title(s) you would like to pursue, place your order. During this step, you can choose from many options for recognition, allowing you to select what matters most to you.

Step 3: Submit Your Video Form 
After completing your order, fill out the corresponding form with the necessary details, and upload your video file or link showcasing your dog performing the required tricks for the chosen title.

All Done! 
It's truly that simple.

Question 2

Do I need to register my dog to start submitting for titles?

Accepted Answer

No - GCA does not require registration or membership to start earning titles. We also do not require your dog to be registered with any organization, or a purebred. All dog and handler teams are welcomed and encouraged to participate in our programs!

Question 3

Where do I input my dog's information and video links for review?

Accepted Answer

Our title submission forms can be found on the "Submit Your Video & Details" page on the menu under each title series, but we've added convenient buttons here for easy access. After completing your order, please fill out the forms with the required details about your dog and handler, and upload your video file or link showcasing the requirements for the title(s) you ordered. One form per dog!

Question 4

How long will it take to review my video and receive results?

Accepted Answer

Once we have received all of your information and video link(s), you can typically expect your video to be reviewed and results provided within 3 to 7 days. In some cases, it may take up to two weeks.

Question 5

My dog is trained to a higher level - can we just start at a higher level?

Accepted Answer

No - each level must be completed in order to be eligible for the next level. Please see the detailed requirements for each level here.

Question 6

I’d like to purchase a title during a sale, but my video isn’t ready yet. How much time do I have to submit it?

Accepted Answer

No worries! You have up to 12 months from the date of purchase to submit your trick video for review.

Question 7

Can I earn GCA titles with a pet that isn’t a dog?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Our goal is to support pet owners in having rewarding experiences with their pets, no matter the species. When submitting your title video form, just add the species and breed in the "breed" box. We are excited to see animals of all kinds participating!

Question 8

What if my animal or I have specific needs or limitations?

Accepted Answer

No problem at all! We offer flexibility to ensure that everyone can participate. Whether it’s modifying tricks for a different species or accommodating a pet or handler’s disability, we aim to make the experience enjoyable and accessible. 
(For example, we might modify a "down stay" to a "stop stay" for a horse, a "bar jump" to a bar on the floor for a pet with dysplasia, modify leash requirements for a handler with limited dexterity, etc.)

Every situation is different, so we can’t offer a one-size-fits-all list of modifications. But rest assured, we will work with you and your pet to determine what works best for your specific needs.

Accommodation Request
Simply note any accommodation(s) in the notes section of your video submission form. There is no need for prior approval. If we need anything from you, we will let you know what your options are.
It is not necessary to submit an accommodation request in advance, but if you wish to reach out to us first, just send us a request for accommodation through our Contact form.

Question 9

Can I purchase printed certificates and ribbons at a later date?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Once you’ve purchased a title and it has been approved, you can buy printed certificates and ribbons at any time here.

Question 10

Can I purchase a title for a friend or transfer a prepaid title?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can! Simply include the details in your order notes. If you'd like to transfer a prepaid title credit after the date of purchase, just reach out to us using our contact form through our website, and we'll help facilitate the change.
