Mondio Obedience is arguably the most challenging (and absolutely the most fun) competitive obedience venue available. There are six different exercises in the first level of Mondio Obedience (Heel, Stay, Retrieve, Food Refusal, Send Away, Positions). This six-week session covers Heel, Stay, Food Refusal, and some trial preparation activities. Several different methods will be offered for teaching the Food Refusal exercise, and each dog will have individual support and coaching for the method that works best for them. Mondio style Heeling and Stay challenges will be presented each week, and some class time will be devoted to preparing dogs for the trial environment, specifically: waiting to be called onto the field, passing other dogs and people on the way to the gate, relinquishing equipment at the gate, and waiting calmly while you 'check in' with the judge.

Mondio Obedience training benefits from group participation in some activities. A portion of class may be each team working one at a time while the other dogs wait in the car or in a crate (bring a crate if this is your preference). You will learn a great deal by playing a role in your classmates' solo sessions.

The small class size allows for individual coaching and problem-solving time. This class will be held outside when possible.
