Training with Pozorant – a 7-month-old Malinois – Mondioring
Training with a decoy can begin at various ages. Depending on the breed and temperament of the dog, you can start Mondioring, IPO or IGP training earlier or later. Below is a video showing the first training session with a Malinois. This is the first training session at 7.5 months of age. The bitch had previously only trained in obedience.
It’s worth noting that training a defence dog involves collaboration between the owner, the dog and the decoy. If you’re thinking of starting defence training with your dog, please do get in touch.
