Rally Obedience Basics
Pre-requisite: Intermediate Puppy, Basic Manners, Terrier-rific Basic Manners, Better Manners, or permission of instructor.
Rally Obedience is a fun and exciting canine sport, as it combines the
structure of traditional obedience with the style and movement of agility.
In this 6-week class, you and your dog will learn how navigate a course of 10 to 20
stations. Each station includes a sign that indicates what the dog and
handler team is required to do - stop and sit in heel position, make turns
and circles, reverse directions, come and sit in front, return to heel
position, stay as you walk around, figure 8 around cones, and much more.
You will learn how to properly perform each of 29 different stations.
Since Rally O requires that your dog walk on a loose leash between stations, you and your dog will get tons of loose leash walking practice.
A Rally Obedience class can be a fun and rewarding way to simply strengthen obedience skills. Plus, if competition is your focus, this class will give
you the tools and knowledge you need to compete in Rally Novice. Class is
for all breeds and mixes of dogs.
Several different organizations offer Rally Obedience competitions: the AKC, APDT, WWKC, and CARO. This class is primarily aimed at AKC agility.
