Rally is all about teamwork. You and your dog navigate a course together, side-by-side, at your own brisk pace. You move him through a course with signs where he
performs different exercises. The courses are designed by the Rally judge (10-20
signs per course, depending on the class level) that include various turns and
commands such as sit, down, stay, etc.
Unlimited communication from the handler to the dog is to be encouraged and not
penalized. While touching isn’t allowed, you can use verbal commands, clap your
hands, pat your legs and use hand signals to praise and encourage your dog.
Our instructors teach the basic and advanced skills required to compete in AKC
Rally competition. Contact Kym Thomas for class schedule, pricing and enrollment.
