Rally
We have no Rally events planned at this time.
Rally has been taking the nation by storm and is a successful stepping stone from the AKC Canine Good Citizen® program to the world of obedience or agility. Rally offers both the dogs and handlers an experience that is fun and energizing. The canine team moves at their own pace, very similar to rally-style auto racing. Rally was designed with the traditional pet owner in mind, but it can still be very challenging for those who enjoy higher levels of competition.
A rally course includes 10 to 20 stations, depending on the level. Scoring is not as rigorous as traditional obedience. Communication between handler and dog is encouraged and perfect heel position is not required, but there should be a sense of teamwork between the dog and handler. The main objective of rally is to produce dogs that have been trained to behave in the home, in public places, and in the presence of other dogs, in a manner that will reflect positively on the sport of rally at all times and under all conditions. Titles are earned but more importantly, fun is shared between dog and handler.
Labrador Retrievers love activities that help them bond to their owners and Rally is a fun activity for handler and dog.. If you want to know more about it, email us and we can connect you with a club member who enjoys Rally.
