✨ Introduction to Mondioring Seminar with Kevin Bain! ✨

Join us for a weekend of obedience and bitework in sunny south Florida. Kevin is a Level 3 trial decoy that has been a trial decoy since 2011 decoying over 100 trials. Kevin is also a skilled handler and competitor with 5 USMRA titled dogs under his belt—Chuck MR3, Achilles MR1, Extra MR3, Anvil MR3 and Cinnamon MR3.

Mondioring has a series of exercises to be executed by the dog/handler team in the categories of obedience, agility (jumps) and protection. At the Mondioring III level, there are a total of 17 exercises, completed without interruption, and lasting approximately 45 minutes.

The obedience in Mondioring is based on functionality with the emphasis being on control in spite of distraction. The jumps in Mondioring test the structure and willingness of the dog. The protection phase of the competition requires that the dog demonstrate tremendous control.

A Mondioring dog competes at each level without collar or leash throughout the trial, thus testing the control of the animal from the very beginning. The complexity of the trial field, combined with the demands of extreme control combine to require that the dog be clear-headed with excellent character.

Each trial (competition) is based in a theme – much like a theatre set up on a field. Props, scenarios, distractions are placed at strategic points on the trial field. While the exercises remain the same from trial to trial, the order and the setup will change with each judge’s own creativity. No two trials are ever alike, thus preventing the possibility of preparing the dog ‘by rote.’

➡️ There will be a maximum of 12 working spots each day. Audit spots available too - DM for additional details and to sign up!

These four are all born within three weeks of each other (they are almost 15 months old). It’s so much fun to see the similarities and differences in each one and it’s going to be so much fun to see them develop. We’ve got a fun rest of the year planned!

Welcome back Allie! So excited to continue building this girl’s foundation in all the things. She’s sister to Esme and Leonard so I’ve really enjoyed seeing the similarities and differences in these guys.

Not only is she a house dog that does pet things but she will do mondioring, nosework and more. We’re going to have a ton of fun 💪🏻

*TOSS & FETCH*

We are looking to gauge interest in starting back up for the Winter league this year. Toss & Fetch is a 5 week semi-competitive frisbee league with your dog! All are welcome, it’s recommended that your dog enjoy chasing, catching and bringing a frisbee back to you. If we can’t roster a club for Winter, we will start back up in January after the holidays, so no pressure!

The winter season would be on Saturdays at 4pm on 11/16, 11/23, 11/30, 12/7 and 12/14 in WEST DELRAY.

A team is one handler and one dog. We need 8 teams to form the club for the season. You must be able to attend a minimum of 3 weeks to be on the roster.

Comment below if you are interested and can commit to a season!
