    Mondioring?

     Anyone done it, know anything about it, interested in it?  I'm pretty interested, but of course there are no clubs anywhere near me.  :(  I'd kind of like to get into this over schutzhund eventually, because it seems really cool.  Lots of different things to do.

    It is sort of like the Ring but requires the trainers place considerable time and effort into specific generalization training.  The course order is not predictable so any dogs that rely on patterns (have been trained to do so) will struggle more.  The courses are often larger overall with more physical obstacles that may be more realistic to the real or natural world (ie  Blinds using natural terrain, hay bales in country areas etc.  The dog needs to know all the behaviors required for the French Ring.  I am sure you will find shots on you tube if you search on the term

     That sounds a lot more like something I'd want.  I like schutzhund, but it becomes a pattern so much.  And I'd definitely like using actual obstacles in the environment instead of just using the same things every time.  Gives a more realistic approach to everything.  I'll definitely have to check it out.
