In our latest episode, “Training Dogs in the Land of the Long White Cloud,” we ventured into New Zealand to meet Gabby Mansbridge, a remarkable figure in the realm of dog sports. As we navigated the cloud-covered landscapes to reach our appointment for a PSA trial, the anticipation was as thick as the fog in the valleys. Gabby didn’t just meet expectations; she soared above them, clinching most of the awards and achieving her first leg of a PSA1, a first in New Zealand’s PSA dog sports.

Gabby’s journey is as inspiring as the ever-changing clouds above New Zealand’s landscapes. Her multifaceted skills extend beyond the trial field. Known for running social dog packs, she possesses a unique talent for professional training. Her high-drive working dogs are not just adept at navigating the challenges of PSA; they’re also well-versed in socialising with horses and other animals, showcasing the versatile training methods Gabby employs under the vast, cloud-strewn skies.

The excitement around Gabby’s achievements doesn’t just stop at her PSA success. Her holistic approach to training emphasises the importance of a well-rounded and socialised canine, reflecting the dedication and hard work required to excel in such a demanding sport. She’s not just paving the way for future enthusiasts; she’s building a highway through the clouds.

As we delved deeper into her methods and experiences, it became clear that Gabby’s story is not just about training dogs; it’s about nurturing a deep connection between humans and animals beneath the expansive cloud formations of New Zealand. Join us in this episode as we explore the cloud-kissed peaks of dog training with Gabby Mansbridge, a true pioneer in the field.
