Rally Obedience Classes
Rally is a sport where the dog and handler proceed at their own pace through a course of directional signs in a manner similar to Rally car Racing. The dog and handler team heel from sign to sign and perform the exercises indicated on the sign at each location.
In Rally the handler is allowed to encourage their dog verbally, and also to give more than one command. This makes Rally obedience a great introduction to the more formal competition obedience.
Rally was approved to become an American Kennel Club titling event January 1st, 2005. A title may be earned in each of three levels Novice, Advanced and Excellent. In addition a dog may continue to compete in the Advanced and Excellent classes to earn a Rally Advanced Excellent title.
Interesting moves include serpentines, 360 Right and Left turns, Left about turns and right and left finishes.
Formal classes through Level II are recommended prerequisites to Rally Obedience.
