Edward Bear (Aussie) just finished his 6 week Shy Dog class. He started out running from all the dogs and people, couldn't stand his rear being touched and would bite if pushed. Last night he went up to a new dog and person, sniffed the dog and then sat down and begged for treats from the person. He worked the entire confidence course (TTeam) which he'd only attempted parts of before, he went through the tunnel for the first time (had never seen it before) and was offering behaviors to everyone in class. And he's been groomed by his owner - no more mats !!!!
Rally Obedience Basics 6 week group class - at our facility on Sunday evenings at 6pm.
Rally-O is a sport in which the dog and handler complete a course that includes 10 to 20 stations where the dog and the human perform a behavior or activity. Each of these stations has a sign providing instructions regarding the behavior that is to be performed. Signs are numbered to indicate the course the handler and dog take during the performance.
Originally devised by Charles L. "Bud" Kramer, Rally Obedience is a form of dog obedience with a twist - a total focus on fun and excitement for the dog, handler and spectator.
There is a lot of variety with each rally course. And Rally is different than Obedience in that handlers may talk to their dogs, praise them, and give them needed verbal commands.
Handlers can even use hand signals, point and in Novice and Advanced, clap and snap their fingers at anytime and as often as the handler needs. And it's not only allowed, but encouraged - making it a really fun sport!
If you have never seen RallyO, here is a video showing a beginning to intermediate course. We will be starting a Rally Obedience Basics 6 week course on March 25th at 6pm.
