AKC Titles by Sport
One of the best things about owning a dog is that the journey doesn't end when you bring your puppy home—it has only just begun.
There are countless ways to bond with your dog, build teamwork, and challenge both of you. Whether you enjoy hiking, camping, dock diving, agility, obedience, rally, scent work, herding, trick training, Fast CAT, therapy work, or simply teaching fun skills at home, there's an activity for almost every dog and every owner.
Many AKC titles can even be earned from home by recording and submitting videos, while others are earned through local clubs, classes, and competitions. You can participate as casually or as competitively as you choose.
The goal isn't just collecting ribbons or titles. It's spending quality time together, strengthening your relationship, providing mental and physical stimulation, and giving your dog a job to do.
There truly is never a dull moment when you have a dog that's part of your everyday adventures.
JBK owners and their dogs have proudly earned more than 400 AKC titles across nearly every venue. We encourage every puppy owner to explore the activities that best fit their interests and lifestyle. Whether it's a title earned from your own backyard or one achieved in the competition ring, every accomplishment strengthens the bond between you and your dog.
That's the current AKC master list of titles, organized by sport.
