Progressive Rally Class

Beginning - Thurs, March 4th @ 6pm
Course will run 7 weeks - 1 hour per week

 

Rally is a fun, relaxed dog sport in which the dog and handler follow a course comprised of 10-20 signs indicating specific exercises to be completed at each "station".   It is designed to be a "stepping stone" between basic puppy classes and more advanced sports such as agility or obedience, but may be enjoyed by anyone who wishes to have fun with their dog.

This course will teach handlers new to rally how to execute the Novice exercises with their canine partner.  Handlers with more experience will be able to work on the Advanced and Excellent level exercises.
In order to get the most out of this class dogs should be at least six (6) months old, understand basic commands such as sit and down, be able to stay in position briefly, and be able to walk on lead in a controlled manner.  "Heel position" and other needed skills will be taught during the class in a relaxed manner with emphasis on building a working relationship with your dog in the learning process.
