Working Dog Sports

• IGP (formerly Schutzhund)

  IGP is the international working-dog sport formerly known as Schutzhund and IPO. Every trial tests the same dog in tracking, obedience and protection, so a title shows a dog that can work with focus, control and courage.

• French Ring Sport

  French Ring is a protection sport that began in France. In North America it is run under the North American Ring Association (NARA). Dogs work off leash through jumps, obedience and bitework against a decoy in a full bite suit.

• Mondioring

  Mondioring is an international ring sport governed by FCI regulations. It combines exercises from the European ring sports, and each trial is built around a theme, with props and distractions placed on the field.

• PSA (Protection Sports Association)

  PSA is a protection sport built around realistic civil-defense scenarios. Scenarios change from trial to trial, so dogs and handlers must be ready for situations they have not rehearsed.
