Championship Program Progress
Keep Championship Program titles and progress organized around the correct USDAA agility path.
USDAA Agility Title Tracker
USDAA agility titles come from qualifying runs, or Qs, in five classes: Standard, Gamblers, Jumpers, Snooker and Relay. Each class has Starters, Advanced and Masters titles, and on top of those sit the Versatility titles, the Champion titles and the big one, ADCH.
Below you'll find every USDAA agility title and the Qs it takes, for both the Championship and Performance programs. If you'd rather not count Qs after every trial, Dog Title Tracker does it for you, and it's free for 3 months, then $5 a month, with no charge per dog.
USDAA Agility Titles List
Each USDAA agility class has its own title at each level. Starters and Advanced titles take 3 Qs, and Masters titles take 5. Snooker Master is the tricky one: 3 of its 5 Qs have to be Super Qs, which means qualifying and also placing in about the top 20% of the class.
| Class | Starters3 Qs | Advanced3 Qs | Masters5 Qs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | SSA | ASA | SAM |
| Gamblers | SG | AG | GM |
| Jumpers | SJ | AJ | JM |
| Snooker | SS | AS | SM |
| Relay | SR | AR | RM |
In Relay, the Advanced title takes Qs with 3 different partners, and the Masters title takes 5.
What Counts as a Qualifying Run
| Class | What counts |
|---|---|
| Standard and Jumpers | A clean run with no faults, under course time |
| Gamblers | Finish the gamble without a fault and reach the opening minimum for that course, from 13 to 35 points |
| Snooker | At least 37 points, at every level |
| Relay | Your team’s time plus faults inside the qualifying course time |
Versatility Titles
When your dog has the Standard title at a level and one Q in each of the other four classes at that level, it earns that level's Versatility title. MAD needs the full Standard Agility Master title.
| Level | Championship | Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Starters | AD | PD |
| Advanced | AAD | APD |
| Masters | MAD | MPD |
Championship and Performance
USDAA agility has two main programs. Performance dogs jump 4 inches lower and earn the same titles with a P in the name, like SPS, APS and PSM. Qs from Championship height count toward Performance titles too, but Performance Qs never count toward Championship titles.
| Height division | Height at the withers | Championship | Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extra Large | Over 22 in | 24 in | 20 in |
| Large | Over 18 in to 22 in | 20 in | 16 in |
| Medium | Over 15 in to 18 in | 16 in | 12 in |
| Small | Over 12 in to 15 in | 12 in | 8 in |
| Extra Small | 12 in and under | 8 in | 4 in |
Dogs can compete from 15 months old, and any breed or mix can run once it's registered with USDAA. If you've been around a while, the old Performance names PD1, PD2 and PD3 are now PD, APD and MPD.
ADCH and Champion Titles
ADCH, Agility Dog Champion, takes all five Masters titles plus Tournament Dog. Starting in 2027, the Standard part changes from Standard Agility Master to Standard Agility Champion, so it takes 10 Masters Standard Qs instead of 5.
Each Masters class also has a Champion title at 10 Masters Qs, like Standard Agility Champion (SACH) and Jumpers Champion (JCH). After that, the Qs keep adding up to metal tiers:
| Tier | Bronze | Silver | Gold | Platinum | Titanium | Diamond |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Masters Qs in that class | 15 | 25 | 35 | 50 | 75 | 100 |
Tournament Dog takes 5 tournament Qs, with at least one each in Grand Prix, Steeplechase and Dog Agility Masters. Tournament Master takes 10, with at least two in each.

Keeping Track of USDAA Agility
That is part of what makes USDAA agility fun. There are different classes, different programs, different levels, and different ways progress can build. Each program even has its own jump heights, which our dog jump height chart lays out next to other organizations. USDAA terms like Super Q and the Performance program are in our dog sport glossary. USDAA's Veterans Program starts at 8, and our age requirements page compares every organization's youngest and veteran ages.
A qualifying result may matter for a class title, a program path, or a bigger goal you are working toward over time. If USDAA agility is one of several venues your dog runs, it can be even easier for the details to get scattered.
One note for AKC. A spreadsheet tab for UKI. A screenshot from USDAA. A reminder to check Qs later. The tracker is built to make that easier.
USDAA Agility Gets Its Own Place
USDAA agility progress should not have to live as a random line in a general agility spreadsheet. It has its own structure, and that structure deserves to stay clear.
With our title tracker, you can keep USDAA agility progress connected to the right dog, organization, program, class and title path. Championship Qs count toward Performance titles the way USDAA counts them, and USDAA records don’t get mixed into your dog’s AKC, UKI, CPE, ASCA or NADAC agility history.
You can still see USDAA agility as part of your dog’s bigger agility journey. It just does not have to be tangled up with everything else.
What the Tracker Keeps Track Of
Keep titles, Qs, classes, programs, tournament Qs and bigger USDAA agility goals connected to the right dog and title path.
Performance Program Progress
Track Performance titles too, with Championship Qs counted toward them the way USDAA does.
Starters, Advanced, and Masters
Follow progress as your dog works through USDAA agility levels, from early titles to more advanced goals.
Titling Classes
Keep progress easier to follow across Standard, Gamblers, Jumpers, Snooker and Relay.
Tournament Goals
Track tournament Qs from Grand Prix, Steeplechase and Dog Agility Masters toward Tournament Dog and Tournament Master.
ADCH and Champion Titles
Follow your dog’s Masters titles and Qs toward ADCH, the Champion titles and the Bronze to Diamond tiers.
One Q, Several Titles
USDAA agility tracking can get confusing because progress does not always feel like a simple checklist. A result may belong to a specific class. It may matter for a level. It may be part of a program path. It may also connect to a bigger long-term goal.
The tracker helps keep each piece connected to where it belongs, so you are not trying to reconstruct the story later from memory, screenshots, or old records.
You can see what your dog has earned, what is in progress, and what still needs attention.
Working Toward ADCH
Bigger USDAA agility goals are exciting, but they can be hard to follow if the pieces are spread out.
If your dog is working toward ADCH or Tournament Master, you may be tracking Qs across five classes and three tournament events at the same time.
Our title tracker adds up those pieces so you can see how they’re building instead of wondering what you forgot to update.
Start From Your Dog’s Real Titles
Your dog’s tracker does not have to start empty. If your dog already has USDAA agility titles, you can add them during setup so your tracker starts from your dog’s real progress.
You do not have to perfectly rebuild every old date to begin. Add the titles and current progress your dog already has, then keep tracking new results from today forward.
USDAA Agility-Only and Multi-Venue Dogs
Some teams focus heavily on USDAA agility. Others add USDAA agility into a calendar that also includes AKC, UKI, CPE, ASCA, NADAC, or other agility organizations.
If USDAA agility is your main venue, the tracker helps keep title progress, class progress, and program goals in one organized place. If USDAA is one of several venues your dog runs, the tracker helps keep USDAA separate from the other agility records while still showing it as part of your dog’s bigger journey.
Either way, it gives you a clearer view of what your dog has done and what comes next.
Easier Than a Spreadsheet
Spreadsheets can work for a while. But USDAA agility has enough moving pieces that one more spreadsheet tab can quickly turn into one more thing to maintain.
You may start with a simple list of earned titles, then add columns for classes, programs, levels, tournament goals, and championship progress. Then you add another venue. Then another dog. Then another goal.
The tracker is built around dog sport progress from the start, so USDAA agility title tracking can stay connected to the right dog and title path without you building the whole structure yourself.
More Than USDAA Agility
This page is focused on USDAA agility, but your dog’s title story may include more than one agility organization or sport.
You can use the tracker for USDAA agility and also keep progress organized for AKC agility, UKI, CPE, ASCA, NADAC, Fast CAT, rally, scent work, dock diving, barn hunt, obedience, and more as support continues to grow.
That means USDAA agility can have its own place without being separated from the rest of your dog’s accomplishments.
Your USDAA Agility Qs, All in One Place
Start with the titles your dog already has, then add new Qs as your dog earns them.
