“Your say”

  • I recommend these classes even if you think there is no hope for your dog (or you) :) just come along and see us train – there is always hope lol

Rally Obedience

Rally obedience is a new sport in the UK. In traditional obedience work the handler follows the commands given by a judge whereas in rally obedience a course is laid out which the dog and handler follow in a specific order.

I am currently teaching dogs in my intermediate classes rally by using the TD signs and courses. There are 3 levels of courses shown below with some example signs used on the course.

Level 1 = green,

TD 3 steps

Level 2 = blue

Level 3 = yellow

Dogs and handlers all start the course with 200 points and faults are deducted as they go along. Teams gain Good, Outstanding and Ace rosettes for achieving scores over 170, 180 and 190 respectively.
