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.
