Working + Performance

The world of canine working and performance sports and events just about has everything for anyone, and just about any dog.  Our Presa Canario breed has been found to be one of the most versatile working breeds.  Most who are passionate about ensuring their Presa Canario live long, happy and healthy lives would say that they should have some sort of job. Giving a dog a job they enjoy can help to prevent an almost endless list of potential behavior issues (such as excessive barking, inappropriate chewing and digging, separation problems, and more). It can also help them maintain overall physical wellness.  From the farm to the front-lines, Presa Canario can be found across the world performing jobs alongside their handlers.

​

Working + Performance events are part of an integral thread of the PCCA.  Participation in our W + P events is a fantastic way to deeply bond with your Presa Canario, it's great physical and mental exercise, and it just might be one of the most personally rewarding endeavors of your life.  

​

Something special happens between owners and their dogs when they train for an event. As you and your dog develop the skills necessary for the trails and competition – and then demonstrate what you’ve learned – you experience a sense of accomplishment like no other. With your dog beside you at each turn, you become a true team in every sense of the word.

​

Participating in our Working + Performance events is often not just about winning ribbons or trophies, either (although a healthy competitive spirit doesn’t hurt). Most dog owners say it’s the many personal rewards that keep them coming back event after event.

And, we often hear that the friendships with other dog owners that are developed at these events are as important as the events themselves.
