OBEDIENCE & PROTECTION
For dogs with a robust genetic drive, participating in Competition Obedience and Protection Sport is more than just an activity—it’s a purposeful journey. Sports like IGP and PSA provide an avenue for dogs to channel their energy positively by offering mental stimulation, physical exercise, and an opportunity to excel in an environment that aligns with their natural instincts.

In addition to being an accomplished Schutzhund decoy, he also trains proficiently in suit work. Brent has earned various titles on his dogs including an AD endurance test, an IPO1, IGP2 and BH temperament tests making him a knowledgeable and proficient trainer for anyone looking to start their journey with their dogs.
This discipline is a showcase of precision, teamwork, and control. Dogs and handlers navigate through a series of obedience exercises, demonstrating mastery of commands, focus, and responsiveness.

A skilled decoy is not merely a participant in protection scenarios; they are a crucial component in shaping a dog’s behaviour and responses, and ensures the safety and well-being of the dog in a controlled environment. Their clear communication with the dog enhances the training experience, reinforcing the handler’s cues and contributing to effective learning.
The importance of selecting a knowledgeable and skilled decoy cannot be overstated, as their proficiency directly influences the success and well-being of both the dog and the handler in the intricate world of protection training.
