On the weekend of April 29th- 2007 Cindy and I attended a Michael Ellis seminar at Lisa and Ron Gellers north of the Twin Cities in MN. I took about 830 photos. I created a slide show of the best 120 or so - some are very good. The link is:
I have said this before and I will continue to say it - if you ever have an opportunity to attend one of Michaels seminars DO IT !! In my opinion there is no one in the United States that does a better sport dog seminar - Michaels passion in the Mondio Ring and French Ring - with emphasis on Mondio.
In my opinion Mondio Ring has much more to offer the trainer and certainly the dog than Schutzhund. In fact is you are tiring of Schutzhund (which happened to me) you owe it to your dog to look into Mondio Ring.
Had Mondio Rig been around 30 years ago when Schutzhund came to America the majority of people who do Schutzhund would be in Mondio today. There is NO TRACKING - the dog enjoy the work. Its not a stupid ROOT PATTERN SPORT where the dogs do the SAME SAME SAME SAME THING over and over again. Mondio changes all the time.
On Monday I will be streaming video from a large Mondi competition at Triple Crown in Austin Texas from a couple of weeks ago. I urge you to take a look at this 30 minute video that Lisa Geller filmed.
The Gellers are having a Mondio semeinar and competition at their place 40 miles north of the Twin Cities on the weekend of June 17th - Michael will be doing the seminar. If you want to meet nice people, friendly people, and see some of the best working dog training in the United States come to the seminar and then stay for the competition.
I would like to second Ed's comments on the Michael Ellis seminar/training. It was a great time with some very nice people. The pictures are great! 017, 018, and 019 are of my dog. It was quite a time for both of us.
By the way, Ed was the most attentive student there. Taking notes, pictures, and video. Thanks again for the pictures.
