Dogs Love School

Rally Obedience is a new dog sport that promotes positive training and leads to great teamwork between the dog and the handler. Rally is performed on a numbered course that combines heeling and other obedience exercises into a fun format. In Rally, handlers are permitted unlimited verbal communication with their dogs and are encouraged to talk to and praise them while they work.

Rally courses are designed by the Rally judge (or, at Dogs Love School, by the instructor), so each course is different, creating a fun new challenge each time. Courses are designed at three levels - Novice, Advanced, and Excellent - with the challenge increasing at each higher level of performance.

Rally Obedience is a popular class at Dogs Love School. Students and their dogs enjoy the learning and training process and many go on to compete in AKC Rally trials.

Dogs of all breeds and mixes and handlers of all ages are welcome in Rally classes and competitions.

Our students report that Dogs Love School's Rally classes prepare them well for the challenges of Rally competition. Dogs Love School students typically do quite well in competition, earning Rally titles and ribbons with scores they can be proud of.
