What is Mondioring Dog Sport?
Mondioring is a specific system of dog training that includes basic
elements of other dog sports: obedience, protection and guard,
agility exercises (jumps). In general, Mondioring dog sport is one
of the most popular and successfully developing dog training types.
But many dog trainers have a question whether Mondioring develops
real dog protection skills or stays just a "dog show".
Mondioring History
As a system of dog training Mondioring originates from Belgium,
Netherlands and Switzerland. This combination is not occasional. The
task of Mondioring was to join several national European systems of
dog training (French Campagne, Dutsch KNVP, and German Schutzhund),
to let dog trainers of various countries take part in common
international competitions held under common rules. Soon the system
became widely spread in Europe and then overseas in the USA and
Canada.
What is Mondioring Training?
Distinctive features of Mondioring is a high level of intensity and
complication, combination of various elements, and also distracting
factors (bangs and noize at the dog, falling items, pouring water on
a dog). Besides usual dog obedience exercises Mondioring requires a
dog to perform several types of attack: with a grip and without,
front, chasing, and interrupted (by a command of a trainer).
Compicated complex of actions that are required from a dog makes it
be always alert, interact with the handler closely, and this makes
Mondioring a perfect way to show general rate of dog intelligence
and physical abilities, shows its temperament, and skills.
Mondioring Rules: Too Much, Not Enough, or Just Right?
In spite of Mondioring being an interesting dog sport and a
spectacular show, many dog owners take it sceptically. Some are
disturbed that Mondioring encourages a dog to bite a helper (a
person who takes a part of a perpetrator, attacks a dog, tries to
take the guarded item). Won't that make a dog too aggressive? Others
are not satisfied that a helper can't defend itself or attack in a
real way as it happens in life: hurting a dog is prohibited on the
ring, and it means that a dog will be never ready for a real attack
in life and give up at the first hit.
In fact both the notions are right. But Mondioring has a little
"secret": the system of dog training does not suit all dog breeds,
and dogs. A kind-hearted dog that is friendly to everyone (for
example, Labrador) may really confused by Mondioring training,
especially at a wrong approach. It will not become a guard dog, but
become confused completely. At the same time some dogs that apt to
aggression Mondioring training can make absolutely out of control.
And it may happen also for the reason of mistakes in training.
Though, service dogs, especially German Shepherd Dog and Belgian
Malinois, show brilliant results in this dog sport. ForDogTrainers represents high quality, professional Mondioring equipment that is used at Mondioring events throughout the world. If you need certified Mondioring accessories for dog training, you are welcome to choose it here:
