Re: Re: Joy of the bite / Joy of the fight

How difficult is it to take a Sleeve trained dog and get him on the suit?

In mondio there are exercises where the dog must attack through an object. Like a water hose turned on or a stack of platic bottles or a decoy holding a palm branch in his hand. How does one train up to this and do dogs who have been extremely impressive in training suddently fall apart?

There are quite a few sports out there that are pretty much interchangeable as far as rules and training with Modio. PSA. K9 pro sports, NAPD, etc. Have you seen these new sports in action and what do you think of the quality of the dogs and judging?

Can Mondio be used as the corner stone of a breeding program, and what would the benefits be compared to a more conventional sport. Also any downside?
