What rally classes do we offer and when?
|
Rally Obedience was
originally designed to encourage participation in regular obedience classes. It
ia a fun and interactive class that emphasizes the relationship between handler
and dog. The Rally -O class consists of a course having a series of numbered
cones or stations. Dogs and handlers heel between stations and perform a
designated exercise when they arrive at each station. Rally Obedience consists
of obedience training exercises, once known as "doodling", that are practiced in
order to improve communication, position and general performance in a fun,
dynamic fashion. Rally-O judges focus on teamwork and attitude; "a good run
starts with a good time". In addition to performing the exercises, Rally-O
judges like to see the teams enjoying themselves! In most classes, handlers
are permitted to talk to their dogs and encourage them by using other signals,
for example, patting their legs, etc. It is a positive, interesting way to
develop obedience skills while having a good time with the dog. For more information about Rally, please go to the AKC web page Getting Started In Rally. If you like having fun with your dog, rally is for you! |

Your dog will be introduced to all Rally exercises and signs, from Novice to Excellent. Because there will be some off lead work, your dog must be controllable around other dogs and people. We encourage our students to take obedience classes while learning rally as obedience training enhances your dog's opportunities for success in rally.

What should you bring to class, besides your dog? Please bring water, a crate for your dog and an ample supply of your dog's favorite training treats, preferably cut into small pieces -- and/or a favorite small, non-squeaky toy that may also be used for motivation.
