The Premium is Available for our 2025 Fall MADness trial on September 20-21

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


NOTE! Online entry is available for this trial. If you have not done that for a USDAA trial (it’s just rolled out as of this summer), see instructions specific to our trial here


Our judge is Rebecca Hill.

Entry fees for the titling classes are $15 per titling class. There are plenty of classes for newbies (see the low priced Intro classes!) as well as all other titling levels.

If you are looking to enter two of the same games class this weekend and see that only one day has the level you need and the other day has only a Masters level of that game: Please note – 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. So if you are not happy for example with just once chance at earning a games Q, you can try for that Masters Q and/or use the training options available to use such as Fix and Continue, FEO, and Mulligans**..

Something (relatively) new for trials at this location: Oriole DTC now allows a limited number of RVs to stay overnight on the grounds, by pre-arrangement only.


Haven’t been keeping up with the current state of USDAA? You’d probably be surprised to know that your dog can jump and climb the heights you been doing for other organizations. There’s a summary of the those type of changes here:
