Top dog

EL CAMPELLO’s local dog trainer has now been classified as one of the top 10 trainers in Spain.

Melanie Fillol Serrano has been a dog trainer for more than seven years and is recognised by the ‘Seguritidos’ school of trainers in Madrid.

The trainer competes very successfully in mondioring with her three ­ year ­ old furry friend named Kai.

Mondioring is a complex sport that aims to show the skill of the handler, the training of the dog, the dog’s intelligence and the natural abilities the dog possesses.

Melanie has specialised in training protection dogs for gender violence and specific training for surveillance services. Three years ago she began in the mondioring sport modality, testing the capacity of each dog in different situations without using accessories that could harm the dog and be dangerous to her physical identity.

The project seeks to lay the foundations for more ecological, safe, and intelligent urban air mobility through the use of drones. Benidorm’s councillor for Citizen Security, Lorenzo Martinez, confirmed: “We are entering a new phase of the project, complementary to the one that was already tested in our Urban Lab in April 2021.”

The councillor specified that “Benidorm, due to the high concentration of tall buildings that cause interference and errors in the reception of signals from positioning satellites, is ideal for testing the technology that is intended to be used in the immediate future for flights of drones that will allow the delivery of goods and the transport of people.”

DELOREAN is a project funded by the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA).
