NYOC: Titles and Hall of Honour for 2023
Many members of NYOC and their canine companions enjoy participating in various dog sports as well as conformation events. Each year, we celebrate them by posting their names and the titles that they have earned.
If you would like to see who earned what in 2023, visit these these two pages:
If you are at all interested in doing dog sports or conformation with your canine companion, take a look at this page from the Canine Kennel Club to see just some of the dog sports that are available. NYOC training classes tend to focus on Obedience and Rally-O but many of our members participate in over twenty different dog sports. If you think you would like to join us, see NYOC’s membership page.

There is no magic wand in dog training. We hope that our training classes will be fun for your dog. The classes will be work for you, though! Enjoyable work, hopefully! You will need to work with your dog 2-3 times a day for 5-10 minutes preferably in a variety of locations e.g., at home, outside, away from home, in order for you and your dog to gain as much as possible from the classes.
