Information About Rally Classes at Four Paws Academy

What Is Rally Obedience?

Rally Obedience or "Rally" is a fun new aspect of our sport. It combines some aspects of agility (following a mapped out course) and some aspects of obedience (teamwork heeling). Rally is more informal than competition obedience as you can talk to your dog in the ring during competition as you follow the course from exercise station to exercise station at your own pace completing the exercises indicated on the station signs. It is a titling venue in APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers) which includes mixed breeds and will become a titling sport in AKC (American Kennel Club) effective January, 2005.
