What is Rally
Obedience?
.
APDT Rally is a fun and exciting team sport for dogs
and their handlers! Dog and handler teams navigate a course with numbered
signs indicating different exercises to perform, such as
Sit-Down-Sit, Straight Figure 8, Send Over Jump, Recall Over Jump.
Teams navigate the course at a brisk, continuous performance without
direction from the judge. Handlers are encouraged to talk to
their dogs during the performance. . All dogs, purebred, mixed breeds and dogs with disabilities are
encouraged to participate. . Rally trials can be hosted by any organization. Trials typically
include Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 courses. A team earns a Rally
title after successfully completing three course runs with
qualifying scores. Titles can be earned at each Level and teams may
also earn Championship titles, National Ranking Awards and a special
Award of Excellence. . This information is taken from the Association of Pet Trainers
official web site on January 7, 2011; see
http://www.apdt.com/rally/about/default.aspx for more
information including a calendar of events, official rules, class
information.
