First MDSA Video Titling Event

First MDSA Live Titling Event hosted by the Capering Canines of Cape Cod in Cape Cod, MA USA

First Freestyle Dog title earned by MP Jackson & Golden Retriever Stella in the Novice class

64 teams matched in the March "Magic of the Match" workshop.

A third yearly video event is added.

Titling classes expanded to include Intermediate, Team, Pairs, Props, and Spirit of Sharing.

MDSA made new changes to the website and Performance Guidelines to make it easier to compete at MDSA video events.

Performance Guidelines can now be read online as well as downloaded.
The Snapshot section is formatted to display class comparisons. As well as Snapshot with associated fee structure.
MDSA requests videos be uploaded to YouTube as Public or Unlisted and will request permission to share your videos on FB and MDSA playlists.
You can now enter two videos in the same event if they are in the same class! They can be the same routine, but need to be different performances/videos. This makes it possible to earn titles quicker!
- Two (2) qualifying legs are required to earn a title.
- Performances for each qualifying leg in Video Events may be the same routine and music as long as it is a different video of a different performance.
- Performances for each qualifying leg must be earned with the same handler and dog team, including the Team classes.
- Only two (2) titling class solo entries per dog (Novice, Intermediate, Standard, Premier, Veteran, Props) per event are allowed. You may additionally enter at any one event for any other class such as Team, Brace, Pair.
- You may not complete more than one title in the same class in the same event.
- Entrants may rework and enter the same routine or the same music to earn a qualifying leg at a later event.
The Learning Center on the MDSA website is now available for everyone, not just members!
Treats are optional and may be used at all levels except the Premier level.
Rookie and Rookie Prop are now titling and are open to all teams!
