Each week you will learn new signs and how to perform them correctly.  By the end of the course you will have gone through all the Novice signs.  On the 6th class you will go through the motions of a real trial and learn what to expect if you go to an actual event.

Rally is all about teamwork. You and your dog will navigate the course together, side-by-side, at a brisk pace.  As you go through the courses, at each sign your team will perform different exercises. The courses are designed by the Rally judge (10-20 signs per course, depending on the class level) that include various turns and commands such as sit, down, stay, etc. Unlimited communication from the handler to the dog is to be encouraged and not penalized. While touching isn’t allowed, you can use verbal commands, clap your hands, pat your legs and use hand signals to praise and encourage your dog. This is a great beginners sport.
