MR3 Level: Level 3 teams are on the field for about 45 minutes. They perform obedience heeling, send away, change of positions, food refusal, down with distractions, retrieve of object, and search for an object. Jumps include the hurdle, long jump, and palisade. Bite challenges feature the very difficult Guard of object, the exciting Defense of Handler, Face attacks and Flee, and the Search and Escort. One of the flee attacks will be a stopped at a signal to handler after the dog has left towards the decoy.
(300 points of 400 to Qualify)

MR2 Level: Level 2 teams perform some of the same exercises as MR3 with some reduction in difficulty such as heights for jumps and level of distractions. The hurdle must be used plus choice of long jump or palisade. There is no Guard of Object and no stopped attack.
(240 of 300 to Qualify)

MR1 Level: Level 1 (first level) teams perform some of the same exercises as MR2 with some reduction in difficulties such as heights for jumps and level of distractions. There is no object search and the handler can choose to use any one of the 3 jumps. There is no Guard of Object, no stopped attack, no search with escort, and a face attack is done without accessories.
(160 of 200 to Qualify)

Brevet: Not offered in all countries but encouaged in the USA as an introduction to Mondioring for those crossing over from other sports, or new to Mondioring. It is not needed before competing for the first level MR1 Title. The obedience includes heeling, down without handler, and the hurdle jump. The handler has choice of object for the retrieve. There is a defense of handler and a face attack in which the decoy can be requested to present an arm bite.
(75 of 100 to Qualify)

Chien Blanc Dogs
Also known as "Dog in White", a dog is chosen at each level to demonstrate the trial as designed by the judge. This dog does not compete and can be on leash and aided by the handler. The competitors follow the judge and chien blanc to receive trial instructions as designed by the judge for each level.
