The PSA dog sports have captivated enthusiasts across Australia, thanks to the relentless efforts of many dedicated individuals. This episode shines a spotlight on the history of PSA’s origin within Australia and the remarkable people who have contributed to its growth and success.


Jerry Bradshaw, a key figure in the PSA community, alongside Shawn and Janet Edwards, played pivotal roles in introducing PSA dog sports to Australia. Their passion and dedication to PSA dog sports laid the foundation for what has become a thriving sport. With their leadership and vision, they inspired many others to join the cause, bringing together a community united by their love for PSA dog sports.

From organising events to training and supporting each other, the community has poured their blood, sweat, and tears into making PSA dog sports a recognised and respected sport. Financial contributions from supporters have also been crucial in ensuring the sport’s continued growth and development.


In this episode, we honour those who have been instrumental in sustaining PSA dog sports in Australia. Their unwavering commitment and contributions have made it possible for new generations of enthusiasts to enjoy and participate in this exciting and challenging sport.
