Rally is a fun sport that has two parts: teaching a really good heel and trick training! There are signs that act as a "trick" you must complete before moving onto the next sign.
Rally is held every Saturday at 3pm. Rally is a pay per class. $50 each class. Schedule 24 hours in advance days you would like to come.The first part of class you learn what the signs mean and how to perform them. Second part of class is the coursework part. You get to try out the rally course with your dog and I will help you refine your skills. I will use a mix of signs from every level.
Training ranges from:
1 dog scheduled = 30-minute class
2 dogs scheduled= 1 hour class
(Notifications will be sent for how many dogs are signed up the day prior.)
What AKC says about Rally:
What it is: A team sport where a dog and handler work together to navigate a course of 10-20signs.
What to do: The signs instruct the dog and handler on the next skill to perform, such as turn, sit, down, stay, etc.
What to focus on: Teamwork, control, and accuracy are more important than speed,
Who can participate: All dogs are welcome, including mixed breeds.
*** All of Desirable Dog Training's training is positive reinforcement, game-based approaches with a big emphasis on the dog's perspective for how they learn.
