CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

RALLY-O
Rally-O is a combination of Obedience and Agility. To enter Rally-O a dog must know "Sit," "Down," "Stay" and "Come." The handler can talk to and encourage the dog. Dog and handler practice the exercises on a course where the handler reads the sign and asks the dog to complete the exercise. Trials are then held, and dog and handler complete a course for a qualifying score. A title is awarded by the American Kennel Club and the Association of Pet Dog Trainers.
