  Rally-O is a sport, a game, and a powerful way to strengthen your bond with your dog while sharpening obedience skills.

  In this introduction to Rally Obedience, handler-dog teams will develop the foundational skills needed to successfully navigate Rally courses. These exercises are not only fun and engaging—they also enhance communication, trust, and teamwork between you and your dog.

  Whether you're looking to reinforce your training, prepare for competition, or just enjoy a new challenge together, Rally is an ideal complement to regular obedience classes. It builds technical ability and focus in a dynamic, supportive environment, and offers a great way to stay active and connected with your canine partner.

  Semester: 2026-S1

  Track: Rally

  Type: Class

  Rally began as a series of doodles that obedience competitors used “back in the day” to warm up their dogs before competition. Over time, it grew into a fun and exciting sport of its own — blending the precision of obedience with elements of agility.

  Novice Rally-O continues this tradition by completing the introduction to novice signs while building key skills such as rear-end awareness. Students will practice on both mini-maps and full maps, reinforcing the obedience foundation you’ve already worked hard for while exploring the thrilling new challenges that rally brings.

  Join us as we spin in circles, weave through cones, and, of course, bring plenty of treats! Students must also bring their three-ring binder from Intro to Rally-O.

  Have you completed Novice Rally-O? Would you like to try your hand at testing your sign skills or get in extra practice? This course is for any student who has completed Novice Rally-O and would like to try their hand at running maps. These maps are carefully procured to provide students with the best variety of Novice level maps. If you are wanting to continue to bond with your dog and make sure you have your skills down before going to Rally Intermediate, this class is for you too! If you are thinking about trialing, virtually or live, and would like to see how you're doing, this class is for you. 

  Non-trialers and trialers alike will receive valuable input from knowledgeable Rally Instructors. You'll be able to run each map multiple times and ask questions as you go. If there are any skills that need polishing, you'll find out what they are and receive advice on how to polish them. Bring your sign notebook that you've accumulated from Intro to Rally-O and Novice Rally-O, lots of treats and enthusiasm. This no-pressure skill review class with full maps will be great fun for humans and dogs alike!
