Rally Obedience "Rally-O" Training
The newest AKC titling Event, Rally Obedience was created to allow handlers to actively reinforce good dog behavior in competition by using verbal and non-verbal praise. Smiles, encouraging words, laughter and a general happy feeling are encouraged in the ring for training and for competition. Extra points may even be earned during competition for positive dog and handler "attitude"
During competition, the handler moves through a pre-set course by reading numbered signs that give instructions.
All breeds of dogs, including mixed-breeds, are eligible to compete in Association of Pet Dog Training (APCT) Rally Competition. Rally-O is currently a demonstration event with the American Kennel Club (AKC).
