AKC Rally® is a companion sport to AKC Obedience. It requires teamwork between dog and handler along with performance skills similar to obedience. Rally is a sport in which the dog and handler complete a course that has been designed by the rally judge. The dog and handler proceed at their own pace through a course of designated stations (10 – 20, depending on the level). Each of these stations has a sign providing instructions regarding the next skill that is to be performed. Basic obedience skills are taught including heeling, turns, pivots, jumps, positional changes between sits/down/stands.
All levels of AKC Rally are taught in class at the same time so you are learning for your next level up as you go. New for 2024 will be the addition of a daytime class. The daytime class is taught by Irene and the evening class is taught by Sarah.
