Nosework, IPO, whatever he likes to do. I really want a go everywhere, do everything partner.

I'll start Nosework right away for sure. I'm headed up to Chris Wildland for a visit in a few weeks with my joint custody GSD Captain and I'll take Valor along. I'd love to do PSA or IPO with him.

If you are interested in doing PSA, I will tell you there is a lot of bad training out there. A main problem is clubs training for the short run and not considering how doing so will cause problems at the higher levels. The sport requires a lot of control and like other protection sports, it is being made softer with poorer training of decoys who can’t catch a dog or be creative in trying to fail your dog, which used to be part of the challenge of the sport.

Thank you Chip. I will be really selective if I get into PSA with him. I am friends with couple legit decoys that work in clubs around here.
