Rally Obedience
Fun and exciting and a very motivating way to have a good time with your dog. Who knows you may get interested enough to try competition Rally or competition Obedience.
Come join us for some fun.
Rally Obedience is the result of Bud Kramer's concerns with the traditional Obedience waning from the high interests of Agility and Flyball. Rally O was conceived in the hope to make obedience training more attractive and fun, by providing a new venue to the field of competitive obedience.
Rally Style Obedience was adopted from the Rally Car Racing, because of the use of directional signs to guiding the handler through the course of obedience maneuvers. The Team (dog and handler) heel, moving from sign to sign performing the exercises indicated on the sign - at each numbered location throughout the course. The judge only gives an indication to start the course, with no other responses through the course. The handler moves from sign to sign at will performing each exercise. Heeling on the course between exercises is judged as a part of the total performance.
The performance of Rally-O is uninterrupted by directions from the judge, freedom in the selection of exercises, sequence arrangement in the design of the courses, adding to the uniqueness of the sport - the ability to communicate with your dog throughout the performance. The long waited desire to be allowed to motivate the dog throughout the performance and a change in the precision based method of scoring will make this sport a very popular one.
SouthPaw Training offers Rally-O Training starting January 2006. This is a sport that we think will be a very wonderful sport for everyone who likes competition. The Rally-O training is something that will open the doors in obedience to more people and make obedience fun and enjoyable.
Since starting Rally-O classes this year, we have seen an amazing conformation from dogs that have not enjoyed obedience in any form. Dog's that have been trained just to work around the house and dog's that have been Competition trained for obedience, have seemed to change their attitudes and are enjoying the fun.
Rally takes the tedious structure from obedience and makes it fun and motivating, thus helping to move dogs to want to work more with their owners more readily. The change in some dogs that have been bored, is rather interesting at times. Watching a dog come in and dislike working the heel, sit, down, stay and comes, thinking that this is going to be just another day of training the same old stuff, have come out bouncing and having the time of their lives. Competition dogs that have gotten an attitude with the ring work are now looking forward to doing something fun with all the training.
Give us a call and check out how much fun it is to do Rally Obedience. The motivation will turn your dog on and the bond will grow more.
