One of several testimonials:

This AKC Rally DVD is a must have for anyone involved with Rally. This is a great DVD if you can't regularly attend a Rally class, because it teaches everything you will learn during a 7-week Rally class for less. It would also be a great teaching aid for a Rally workshop / clinic. I learned more than the correct way to do each exercise. I now feel confident that I will do my job in the ring, so that my dog will be successful." - Charlie / Mountain View, CA

AKC Rally is a highly motivational obedience class, which both you and your dog will enjoy tremendously! Hand and/or voice commands and body language ARE encouraged, and are a major part of the teamwork.

The basic objective of Rally is to provide an activity that does not require extensive precision for success. As described in the AKC Rally Regulations, Rally is a sport in which the dog and handler complete a course that has been designed by the rally judge. The judge tells the handler to begin, and the dog and handler proceed at their own pace through a course of designated stations (10 – 20, depending on the level). Each of these stations has a sign with a diagram and text describing what is to be performed. It’s very important that all students read the AKC Rally Regulations and the AKC Description and Performance of the Exercises found at the AKC Website.

 

A little about myself...
I have been competing and titling my dogs in Obedience since 1983, Tracking since 1994 and Rally since 2003.  I’ve trained and handled three of my dogs to a UD title, trained and handled two of my dogs to be Champion Trackers, trained and handled one senior to an RN and one to an RAE title.  My dogs have earned CGC and Therapy Dog titles.  Two have earned a TDIA (over 50 visits).  I had a Rescue dog for 3 years who lived to be 16 ½ years old.  She earned her Canine Good Citizen at age 15!  My dogs have all been my home companions!
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed teaching and working with many aspects of AKC Rally since January 2003.  Since then, I've taught weekly rally classes for 3 different dog training clubs and have many students who have received many Rally titles, including many placements.  I've also been teaching Obedience classes since 2003 and assisted for many years prior.

I have also helped many mixed breeds towards achieving Mixed Breed titles in Rally, Obedience and Tracking.

I recently began competing with Journey in AKC Agility Preferred when he turned 10 yrs. of age.  He's thoroughly enjoyed earning two Novice titles and one Open title to date.
