Mondio Ring Training

elisabeth_00117 · 05-04-2011, 05:13 PM

Just curious if anyone on the forum trains in this sport?

I was watching a few of Leerburgs video's with Michael Ellis and am quite interested in learning more.

Video here:

I'm not too familiar with Mondio, but I"ve been going out and training with a French Ring club. It's fun

It's tough to get in either type of ring training as there's so few places that do it. What's worse is that there's even fewer places to trial.

Justine, I would love to try the FR but there is no where around here to do it. It's hard enough finding a good schH club to train with (well, good helpers really).

I think it looks pretty interesting and like a lot of fun.

I especially like the aspect of the dog not engaging with the helper until the helper touches the handler as well as the dog "finding the handler" after the bite in a crowd of people, very interesting.

My favorite thing is the guarding the object exercise. I wish they would add that to SchH.

You can come all the way down to Syracuse and train here! lol.

If you do ever want to make the drive down here to check it out just for fun for a weekend, let me know. It would be fun!

That's very neat to watch, but I'm curious if someone could explain to me...it seems like the helper is at times giving the commands (such as in the trailer). Is he? If so, why would you want to dog to listen to the person they are attacking?

I like to do Mondio one day but club, trainers, decoys are hard to find ...

Unfortunately, I like the idea of Mondio and French Ring more than Schutzhund. But people don't train it...and no trials come here even if people are getting together and training it. There are some rumers each year about a trial but nothing ever comes of it. Montreal is apparently huge in French Ring?
Was thinking of moving to Quebec in 5-10 years anyhow....
