Rally Intermediate & Advanced
with Amanda Gardner
Rally is a unique dog sport that emphasizes teamwork between you and your dog. Together, you will navigate a course at your own brisk pace, working side-by-side to complete various exercises.
In Rally, you and your dog move through a course made up of signs, each representing a different obedience command or skill. The course is designed by the instructor and includes a variety of commands like sit, down, stay, and more, along with various turns and movements. Whether you're preparing for a Rally competition or just want to have fun with your dog, this course is the perfect way to enjoy training together.
Rally offers a clear path for you and your dog to grow together in training. The levels are designed to match your progress and build skills step-by-step:
Rally Intermediate & Advanced: Where you and your dog work together on-leash, 10-17 signs.
Rally Excellent & Master level courses. These levels transition to off-leash work, allowing for even more freedom and advanced skills as you and your dog master each challenge, 15-20 signs.
Classes should be repeated to become proficient in all skills before advancing to the next level class.
Price: $140 + 2.50 registration fee for 7 week session, classes are held on Tuesdays
Prerequisite: Your dog needs to be able to heel on leash, sit, stand, down, front, finish to the left and right, as well as stay in the sit, down and stand positions.
What to bring to class: Flat collar, martingale, or slip collar, 6-foot leash, high-value treats, treat pouch, water, and a positive attitude! No e-collars. Crate so your dog is safely put up during the walk-through that precedes each class.
Cancellation & Refunds: If you need to cancel anytime before the day of the first class of a session, we’re happy to offer a refund minus fees (currently about $13 to cover registration fees and credit card processing).No refunds can be given for cancellations made on or after the first class of a session. We’re also unable to offer refunds, credits, or prorated fees for missed classes once the session has started. I'm only signing up the one handler who’ll be working with the dog in class. If there are additional registrations with the same dog, those registrations will be canceled and refunded, minus fees. Need to switch to a class that’s a better fit for your skill level? Transfers may be possible, depending on space availability. Price differences will apply. Just contact us and we’ll do our best to help.
