Protection Sports

A Place to Start. A Program That Can Take You as Far as You Want to Go.

Most people come in curious — they've watched IGP videos, they have a dog with drive they don't know what to do with, or they want to do something more with their dog than basic obedience. That's exactly where this program starts.

For handlers ready to compete seriously in PSA or French Ring, the program supports that too. Where you end up depends on you and your dog. Where you start is the same place regardless.

The Sports

PSA

Protection Sports Association

PSA is a civilian protection sport that tests dogs across obedience, agility, and protection phases at progressively demanding levels. It rewards dogs that are precise, controllable, and civil. Angie competes in PSA and serves as Training Director of the Anarchy PSA Club.

French Ring

Ring Sport

French Ring is one of the most demanding protection sports in the world, requiring mastery of jumps, retrieves, and a complex protection phase that tests a dog's courage, control, and precision under pressure. It's a sport that rewards the relationship between handler and dog as much as the dog's raw ability.

Who This Is For

Sport Curious. Drive to Burn. Or Ready to Compete.

If you've been watching sport dogs and wondering if yours has what it takes — the assessment is where you find out. Not every dog is a good candidate for protection sport, and knowing that early saves everyone time. If your dog is a fit, you'll leave with a clear picture of what the path looks like.

If you have a high drive dog and nowhere to put that energy, this is a productive outlet that builds the dog rather than just burning them out. The structure and clarity of sport training often produces better results than anything else for dogs that need a job.

And if you're already serious about competing — the program has the depth to support that. The assessment is still where it starts.

No prior sport experience required. The foundation is built from wherever you are.

How the Program Works

Private Sessions. Built Around You and Your Dog.

Protection sport training at Chaos K9 is private and one on one. No group classes, no waiting your turn. Sessions are structured around your dog's current level, your goals, and the realistic timeline to get there.

Foundation work comes first regardless of experience level. A dog that isn't solid in obedience and drive development isn't ready for protection work — and skipping that foundation is how you build problems instead of a sport dog.

Pricing varies depending on your goals and where you're starting from. The performance assessment is where we figure that out.

The dog that wins in the ring is the dog that was built correctly long before anyone put a sleeve on.
