Rally was designed to create on obedience program that emphasizes fun and excitement for the dog, handler and spectator. It provides a natural approach to the performance. The handler is able to communicate with the dog through the entire course, and the emphasis is on teamwork between the dog and handler. Less precision is required than in traditional obedience.

In this course, all rally stations will be individually taught and handlers will learn how to correctly execute the various stations correctly as well as improve their dogs' performance and their handling. A beginners obedience class is a prerequisite.
