I finally worked up the nerve to check out a protection sport and have started with a really cool PSA club. I love the down-to-earth nature of the group and the clarity of training. The trainer always comes out with a specific purpose of what each dog needs to work on as individuals. Even so, he will alter those objectives as the dog works to ensure the dog is always successful and learning. Piper has taken to the training like a fish to water... she LOVES it!
