rally foundation

Interested in Rally? Rally Foundation is an introduction to heeling, precision position changes, fronts and finishes. In Rally, you and your dog navigate a course together side by side.

Rally is more precise than manners obedience, but more relaxed than competition obedience. During Rally, you are encouraged to communicate with your dog and praise them for a task well done!

Prerequisites: Puppy 3, Manners 2, or instructor permission.

Cost: $220 for a 4-week session

What to bring to Rally classes:

-Your dog! Preferably a little hungry, and having been given a potty break prior to class.

-flat buckle collar, martingale collar, head halter, front-attaching harness (ex. Freedom or Balance harnesses) or body harness. Please no prong collars or slip/choke collars. For competition, head halters and body harnesses are not allowed.

-6 foot nylon or leather leash. Please no flexi/retractable leashes.

-treat pouch. A fanny pack, climber’s chalk bag, or hardware apron will work well too!

-treats! At least two cups (I know, it’s a lot!) of pea-sized delicious treats. Your treats need to outcompete the environment, so hot dogs, ham and cheese will all work well.

-A mat or platform for your dog to rest on between exercises.

-Optional: a chew or stuffed kong for your dog to chew during downtimes.
