10:45am: Novice Rally Skills Class:

Back to basics with our Rally Skills class! Come enjoy this fun sport with your dogs, work on training skills with your dog in a fun environment in Rally Obedience. Benefits of participating in Rally with your dogs can include improvements in attention and focus around distractions, walking nicely on a leash, and obedience skills such as stay and come when called. We will work skills needed for the sport of Rally, and then sequences and courses with the signs and exercises. We will be focusing on the signs and skills as seen at the Novice level.

Bring a variety of delicious meaty treats for your dog, water and a bowl, a chair for yourself, shade for your dog, clicker, 4 or 6-foot regular leash (no flexi’s please), and ideally a crate or pen for your dog while you walk the courses.

Please arrive at the park for this class at 10:30am, to help with setting up the Rally course – the more hands we have to help, the faster it goes. And please plan to stay until the end of class to help put all of the signs and holders away.  Thank you!

For all Agility & Rally Classes, please bring with you each week:

Your dog on a flat buckle collar, martingale collar or front-clip harness. Bring a variety of delicious meaty treats for your dog, water and a bowl, a chair for yourself, shade for your dog, clicker, 4 or 6 foot leash (no flexi leashes or choke chains, please), and ideally a crate or pen for your dog.  Please bring a toy or two that your dog really enjoys, to use as a reward throughout the class.
