The premium is now posted for our March MADness trial at the Oriole Dog Training Club in Halethorpe, MD.

Our officiating judge is Terry Smorch.

As usual, this trial provides a nice warm way (climate controlled on artficial turf!) to get those titling Q in addition to the tournament Q’s needed for the regionals and for Cynosport (aka the USDAA Nationals).

Entry fees for the titling classes are the typical low cost of $16 per titling class. Most classes offer titling at all levels (Starters through Masters). One class each day is offered for Masters only, but please note that dogs of any level may enter ANY class at this trial, including those Masters titling classes. Per USDAA policy, if you are not yet showing in Masters and you ‘Q’, that ‘Q’ will be ‘banked’ for you.

RV’ers note: Oriole DTC does allow a limited number of RVs to stay overnight on the grounds, by pre-arrangement only.
