About
Jason Cooper, owner & trainer
The trainer behind Pulsar Canine — and a competitor in PSA protection sport with his own dog.
A trainer who trains his own dogs to compete
Jason — Jase to most people — runs Pulsar Canine and works hands-on with every client. His day-to-day work is advanced, practical dog training: helping owners build engagement, reliable obedience and control that holds up in the real world.
Away from client sessions, Jason trains and competes with his own dog in PSA (Protection Sports Association), a discipline that tests obedience and protection work under judged trial conditions, with deliberate distractions and pressure built into every routine.
Preparing a dog for that environment means sweating the details — timing, clarity, reward placement, and knowing when to push and when to consolidate. Those same details are what make everyday training stick.
PSA protection sport
Why sport experience matters for your dog
PSA combines precise obedience with controlled protection work. Dogs must switch between intensity and calm on cue, ignore distractions designed to break their focus, and respond to their handler first time.
You don't need a sport dog to benefit from that experience. The skills involved — reading a dog accurately, building genuine engagement, and proofing behaviour against distraction — transfer directly to pet and working-dog training at every level.
Photographs on this page were taken at PSA training days and trials with Jason's own dog.
The approach
Clear, fair and consistent
Every dog is read as an individual. Sessions move at the pace the dog sets, with clear criteria, well-timed rewards and honest feedback for the handler — because the person on the end of the lead is half of the partnership.
