Classes >> Rally ObedienceRally is the newest sport offered by the AKC and APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers). This competitive event combines elements from basic obedience training, competition obedience, free style dance and agility! Rally can also provide a transitional link to competitive obedience and agility or just be another fun team activity to learn with your dog! A Rally course is designed with 10 to 20 different “stations” with written instructions to be performed by the team. The course is numbered and the handler and dog follow the course performing each exercise. The dog and handler move thru the course with the dog under control and walking politely on the handler’s left side.
Rally is a fun and great way to continue using your Family Dog skills and to work as a team with your dog!
