SchH & PSA titled dogs? - Page 8

I personally do not dislike any sport. I think any sport that attempts to help and maintain activeness with your dogs is great idea.

Some like to discredit other sports and lay claim there is the best. I think all sports have good qualities and negative ones.

For example-
 I dont like the fact you know what you are going to see at every schh trial so some people simply train for a routine. but i like the focus required, athleticism, and duration that it takes for a dog to preform well.

I dont like you see very little scent work in PSA. however i like the pressure from the decoys,enviromental pressure from the scenarios, and non-routine nature.

I dont like That the Mondio dog dogs get no pressure and obedience was so simple. (at the two club trials i went to).

I generally dont like the atmosphere that surrounds AKC. Though i do like some of the scenarios the UD dogs have to preform such as scent descrimantion and such and like that you can simply title in a tracking venue. etc....................................

every sport could improve drastically in some manor.

However the reason I went the PSA route----- I like that in the upper levels your dog has to be trained for anything as you dont know your scenarios until you get your walk through with the stuart. I like the pressure we can put on the dogs. etc........ I just like the principle i have to train my dog instead it being a routine.

However my dogs do scent work as well.

So basically i chose my sport for what it is. And in my eyes i dont train for PSA. I TRAIN MY DOGS TO WORK. i trial them for fun and something to do and test where we are
at as a team. sport is a byproduct of training to see where me an my dog are and test the ability
of my dogs.period.

who cares what sport is better. they all test your dog in some facit.
