Have you always wanted to compete in a sport with your dog but didn't know where to begin?
Rally Obedience (Rally O) is an excellent place to start with! It's fun to train, builds teamwork & trust between you and teaches you both handling skills for other sports as well. It's a great sport for breeders to get titles to show that their lines have working ability.
Rally O can be done with dogs of all ages, sizes and yes is open to mixed breed dogs! I did it with my senior Golden (starting at 10 years old) and she enjoyed learning something new. My two current mixed breed dogs sure love it and Lucy will be ready for a trial this fall. It's a great way to introduce young dogs to competition settings, probably the calmest venue for reactive dogs and ideal for dogs and handlers with disabilities. Got a tripod dog, no problem! Are you in a wheelchair or have other disabilities? Adaptations for moves are made by judges as long as you let them know ahead of time.
There are several different versions of Rally (APDT, AKC, UKC, CKC, CARO for example). Just choose the one that is most convenient for you (find out which version is most commonly held at trials close to you)and let me know so I can make sure you are learning the corect version of each move!
In my classes, I offer videos of each move from all three angles so you can refer to it as you practice. I also provide a template for recording training sessions and emotionbal support for trialing.

Look forward to meeting you!
