Rally Training
About Rally
Rally (also known as Rally-O or Rally Obedience) offers both the dogs and handlers an experience that is fun and energizing. The canine team moves at their own pace, very similar to rally-style auto racing. Rally was designed with the traditional pet owner in mind, but it can still be very challenging for those who enjoy higher levels of competition.
A rally course includes 10 to 20 stations, depending on the level. Scoring is not as rigorous as traditional obedience. Communication between handler and dog is encouraged and perfect heel position is not required, but there should be a sense of teamwork between the dog and handler. The main objective of rally is to produce dogs that have been trained to behave in the home, in public places, and in the presence of other dogs, in a manner that will reflect positively on the sport of rally at all times and under all conditions.
Rally provides a fun, enjoyable activity for both dogs and handlers. The AKC Rally program provides a link from the CGC to obedience or agility competition. Our class sessions include work on core skills as well as more advanced techniques.

Learn the basic skills to compete in Rally Obedience, including signs and commands. You’ll learn the basics of how to navigate the courses and what to expect at your first trial, as well as the foundation behaviors you’ll need to compete. We’ll work on formal heeling and make our way through the signs you may see in AKC trials.
Tuesdays, 6:30-7:30pm
Thursdays, 10-11am
