What is Rally?
Rally is an obedience sport where dog and handler teams complete a rally course designed by the judge. Teams proceed at their own pace through a course of 10-20 designated stations performing the exercises described on each station sign. Communication between handler and dog is encouraged and there should be a sense of teamwork between dog and handler. Judging in rally obedience is not a strict as in traditional obedience; perfect heel position is not required. It is meant to be a fun way to practice obedience skills that are needed to be a well-behaved dog in the home and in public places.
