Rally Obedience
Rally is a fairly new sport in the dog world, it's fun to do and is a more gentle sport, making it ideal for both people and dogs that have mobility issues. It can be done just for fun or if you wish you can enter competitions and work your way through the levels. The dog and handler team navigate a course with numbered signs indicating different exercises to perform.The team navigates the course without direction from any Judge or Steward. Handlers are encouraged to talk to their dogs during the performance. No treats or toys are allowed in the ring when competing. Each dog/handler team starts the course with 200 points, the aim is to not lose too many. It is not a win/lose thing but a qualify/did not qualify thing, like working trials.
There are different levels that can be worked towards, the higher the level the more complex the course can become. Levels 1 & 2 are worked on lead, level 3 and above are worked off lead.
All dogs, purebred, mixed breed and dogs with disabilities, are encouraged to participate, the only requirement is that the dog and handler should have a basic level of obedience training. Dogs of any age welcome, as are the humans! And anyone with a disability can participate, wheelchair user friendly.
