A fun twist on a regular obedience class! Think of an AKC Rally class as any team sport: You and your dog navigate a course, side-by-side, as you steer them through a course of 10-20 different obedience signs. Each of these signs provides instructions regarding the next skill that is to be performed. From start to finish Rally is a favorite activity of many dog owners. Requirements: Completed Basic Obedience Equipment required: well fitted collar, leash, treats or a motivating toy.

Imagine a dog class designed for both fun and skill building. Try a new dog sport every week!

The instructor will choose from some of the following and will present one per week. Not all sports will be offered every session.
