Fun Rally-O

Created by Bud Court who also came up with sport of agility, Rally-O is a fun take on traditional 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 handler can also reward their pooch with treats between signs (though points are deducted for dropping a treat!) Scoring is less rigorous than traditional obedience. Our goal in this course is to have fun with the various Rally-O exercises.
