Santa Clara Dog Training Club

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.

This engaging and fun activity helps strengthen your bond with your dog while improving obedience skills and communication. 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 Novice / Intermediate: The perfect starting point, where you and your dog work together on-leash, 10-17 signs.

Rally Advanced, Excellent, and Master: 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..

Whether you’re just starting or looking to take your teamwork to the next level, there’s a Rally level for every stage of your journey.
