Earning Titles: Trailing & Locating, Urban Locating and Trailing Brace

Titles in NASDA are awarded when a dog accumulates the required number of points within a specific level. Each level has its own point threshold, and as dogs progress, they can achieve higher-level titles that showcase their skills and accomplishments. Titles serve as a recognition of a dog’s dedication, training, and success in NASDA events.
