Rally Obedience

Woofermutt training in Black Forest CO, offers 6 week rally classes to teach you all the required signs, and basic rules. If you are interested in a class but don't see one offered be sure to call and we will try to schedule what works best for you. 3 handler/dog teams are needed for a class to be a go.

Rally Obedience was endorsed by AKC in the year 2005. It is a fun family sport for you, your kids and your dog. No longer is there only one option of obedience. In Rally you can talk to your dog, give multiple commands (within reason of course) and pat your leg to give encouragement. It is a great way to start a journey with your dog learning basic obedience.

In Novice Rally, the first level there are 42 signs you and your dog learn. The fun part is you need to know all 42 signs, but you never know which 15 will be on the course you are asked to navigate. It keeps the sport fresh and constantly challenges you to try new skills with your dog. The only thing that is asked is that your dog is on a loose leash. As you improve, each level of rally, (Novice, Intermediate, Advanced,Excellent) become increasingly challenging. How far do you want to try and go?
