Strong Bonds, Happy Dogs, Thriving Humans
Late Fall 2026: Rally Foundations
Six-Week Session: Mondays 4 - 4:45 pm Starting Oct. 27
Service Description
New to Rally? This class is a fun introduction to the skills you and your dog need to get started in Rally. You’ll learn how to work together as a team while practicing basic obedience skills, turns, changes of direction, and the signs you’ll encounter on a Rally course. We’ll focus on building attention, communication, and confidence rather than perfect precision. Dogs and handlers will learn at their own pace in a positive, supportive environment, with plenty of practice to help you feel comfortable navigating a Rally course together. Perfect for: Dogs and handlers who are new to Rally or want to build a solid foundation before moving into a more advanced Rally class. Equipment needed: Training collar (Slip chain, slip collar, flat, prong, or martingale), 6-foot leash, and small soft training treats. Please wear indoor shoes on the training mats.
