Our Protection Sports Association (PSA) Training Program is designed for dog-and-handler teams who want to pursue the challenging and technical world of protection sport.
PSA has no set timeline for completion. Progress depends on the individual dog and handler, consistency in training, development, and successful competition results. PSA is a long-term journey requiring dedication, precision, and continued training.
The Road Through PSA
Teams progress through PDC, PSA Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3, earning the required qualifying scores along the way.
Each level becomes progressively more technical and challenging. Advancement is based on the readiness of the individual dog-and-handler team—there is no guaranteed timeline for earning titles.
Evaluation required prior to commitment: $100 evaluation fee

Program Changes
We understand that not every dog's training journey develops exactly as expected. If the PSA program is no longer the appropriate path, the remaining monetary value of the program may be applied toward another appropriate Woof Tang K9 training program or service, subject to our approval.
Training and services that have already been completed are considered earned and are non-refundable.
