Rally Obedience

The fun new postitive dog sport that's sweeping the UK!

"Welcome to the Happy Team Work Sport"

Level Two Rally Sign: Dog Circle Left

Rally-Obedience, created by Charles Kramer in USA, brings new fun challenges to pet dog owners. Rally is fun for all, welcoming handlers of all ages and abilities, and dogs of both mongrel and pedigree persuasion!
 
The idea is that handlers and dogs work a course of signs, each one telling you what to do at each station.  They can be as easy as "Sit", or "Down" (level one), or as complicated as a "Recall through a tunnel, over a jump" (level 3).
 

Rally encourages teams to compete against their own previous scores rather than against each other. With 75 different exercises, three levels of difficulty and an infinite combination of stations, Rally will keep you and your dog busy for years to come!
