Description
Learn to read the AKC novice level rally signs and perform them with your dog.
This class will teach the novice and intermediate signs. You will learn how to read and perform the signs with your dog so you can build a solid foundation for the rally sport.
Rally is a wonderful sport that can be described as a combination of competition obedience and agility. Rally behaviors are similar to obedience behaviors, but Rally teams follow a numbered course, as in agility – the judge doesn’t call a pattern. You can talk to and encourage your dog (and yourself!) throughout the course.
Rally exercises/behaviors easily transition into other dog sports and the show ring, but they are great day-to-day exercises for use in real world scenarios – “come front and watch me while that kid on a skateboard goes by” or “let’s do a moving side step to avoid that dog that is lunging at us”.
Learning Rally is fun for you and your dog. It can be done in remarkably short training sessions, during commercial breaks, and while on your everyday walks.
Rally is all about having fun and building a strong, joyful bond with your dog! And you can earn titles in the process!
