Rally On


One of the dog sports that we enjoy most is Rally Obedience. Rally combines traditional obedience exercises with a fast-paced, enthusiastic environment. Judges create a course that is unique each time. That keeps it very interesting for the handler as you don't just go in and do the same old, same old each time - you have to think! The goal is for the teams to run the course briskly and happily - no harsh corrections are allowed. It's like a little obedience party that you and your dog have been invited to. The link above is to the Canadian Association of Rally Obedience. They are one organization in Canada that offers Rally competition. The Canadian Kennel Club also offers Rally-O, but they didn't start until 2007. Sadie and Elliott both have Rally Novice titles from CARO and Elliott is going to start working on his Advanced CARO title later this month.
