AKC Rally Competition allows a dog and handler team to work at its own pace, with the dog heeling at signs placed throughout the course.  Each sign contains an exercise illustrated with symbols.  In total there are 50 exercise signs that judges may use to design the courses, and the number of required exercise can increase with each level of competition. 

In this class we will introduce you to the various signs and corresponding exercises used in rally competition.  We'll work on various course configurations to develop your comfort level with various transitions between exercises.

In Rally, dog/handler teams can take their time in the ring, AKC Rally is a fun, low-stress way for people to enjoy their dongs," sad Patricia Krause, associate vice president, Companion Dog Events.  "AKC Rally takes the average pet owner a step beyond Canine Good Citizen and basic obedience training and into the exciting world of AKC canine sports."
