Training with Ed and Cindy

This video clip is of Cindy training her young Malinois Rush with markers. Rush was 10 months old in this video. Rush is being trained for the Mondioring. We start with two sessions of rush going through some intermediary training steps for food refusal. In the Mondioring the dog is placed in a down stay and an attendant tosses hot dogs and pieces of meat around the dog – who is suppose to ignore them. In training we start with non-food objects and progress to food scented objects and then to food. This is followed by a couple of jump sessions and retrieve sessions. Throughout the training this young dog is being worked with markers.
