Skills Certification Program 

The NATE Skills Certification program is a great way to achieve training goals, test your team’s readiness, and get recognition as you prepare for competition or video titling.

This program was incorporated into the NATE Handbook as of October 22, 2021. It is available to all NATE registered members. To join us, apply today! Your dog will need to be registered to achieve Skills Certificates. Register your dog here

There are three skills categories:
