Rally Obedience
Rally Obedience was created to bring a new level of fun and enjoyment to the sport of competitive obedience. The dog and handler team move continuously through a rally course of 10-20 signs with the dog at the handler's left side. At each numbered sign they perform the indicated exercise then move to the next sign. Unlimited communication is encouraged — the handler can talk to the dog and give multiple commands and signals. The performance and scoring is less rigorous than traditional obedience.

Novice Obedience
If you are looking to learn more about competitive obedience or simply just polish your performance and response from your dog, try this class. Exercises to be covered; On and Off Leash Heeling, Heeling figure 8, Stand for Exam, Recall with Front and Finish, 1 minute Sit Stay and 3 minute Down Stay.
