Rally is a good starting point for people new to dog sports. You and your dog navigate a course that contains a varying number of signs. You work as a team, performing the skill required at each sign. Communication with your dog and cheering her/him on is allowed. Rally requires a functional heel (i.e. a tight leash at any point through the course will result in points off and possibly a Not Qualified as a final score).
Rally obedience as a sport has multiple titling levels. Novice and Intermediate levels are performed on leash, any level above that is off leash - hence the requirement for a functional heel.

Testemonials for our Rally classes:
I wanted to share my success story while earning the AKC rally novice title (RN). My goal was to complete three successful AKC rally virtual programs on video. Working with Judy was an easy and positive experience. Some sessions were challenging as Kira had good days and bad days. At times I would become frustrated and Judy kept me positive with words of encouragement and help me keep Kira upbeat. Judy put the videos on a USB flash drive and I was able to easily upload it to AKC per their guidelines. I would recommend Judy for anyone interested in working towards this method of rally titling.

I would like to thank Teresa Russell for her guidance and instruction during her rally run through sessions. I would recommend these practice runs for anyone trying to achieve rally titles. I found them very helpful and when I didn’t understand the rally signs, Teresa helped me by demonstrating the movements of the handler and dog positions. I would not have been able to achieve my goal without her. Jeanette V
