Judges and Trials

Hello again,

I hope you don't mind if I just jump right in with questions without a lot of chat.

Do you have a list of scenarios you that you compile that other clubs might use so they don't have to re-invent the wheel?

Are these scenarios shared and added to, as it must be somewhat difficult to come up with new materials and scenarios within the guideline on occasion?

I have personally found on a couple of occasions when training in new scenarios that expose a problem area with a dog that sometimes you might not recognize the real problem, therefore there was always note taking of the environmental factors which would sometimes help in determining the problem. Have you ever encountered this situation and if you have, what was the method employed to determine the problem area.

Does the number of clubs available for Mondio Ring have an effect on trialing a dog?

How many judges are there?

How are they selected?

What would it take to become a sanctioned member club of the Canadian Ring Association or the American Counterpart?

Do you have study materials in the form of videos available?

Are you willing to travel to do a seminar at other clubs?

What would it cost for your service?

If someone was very serious about building a club and experienced with training and caught on quickly what would you suggest they do to get started? Even at a great distance from any Mondio club?

How does the future look for the growth of Mondio Ring?

Someone has mentioned the stick hits in French Ringsport in another post. Although Mondio does not use the clatter stick, is it something that is used in training to go beyond the expectations in preperation for say an accidental hit by an object?

What are areas that you like to train past the bare minimum requirements in preperation for potential situations that may arise during a trial?

Thanks again,




Leander
