Introduction to Rally Obedience Class
for dogs 6 months and older
TBA
7 weeks
Tuition: $75
Dogs attend all session.

• The class meets for 7 sessions. Dogs attend all sessions. Dogs should be up to date on vaccinations. No aggressive dogs will be allowed. Dogs must have completed a beginning obedience course or be able to demonstrate mastery of basic obedience behaviors. Bring small, soft treats that your dog likes, a 6-foot leash, and a buckle collar. No retractable leads or choke collars.
• Rally-O is a more relaxed alternative to traditional competition obedience. It emphasizes the relationship between owner and handler and the enjoyment of working as a dog/handler team. Rally-O may serve as a stepping stone from the AKC Canine Good Citizen® program to the world of obedience or agility. The Rally-0 Team moves through a course that challenges them to perform a variety of obedience exercises (like sit, down, stand, front, etc.) at increasing levels of difficulty. Rally-O is a perfect venue for novice handlers to start competing and for more experienced handlers to try something different. Dogs of all ages over 6 months are encouraged to participate.

• The course will include introduction to rally signs, explanation and practice of rally exercises, and running novice level courses.

• Class size: 4-6 students.

• Instructor: Phyllis Christensen
