My kelpie cross and I love rally It's relatively new here in Australia and we are part of the "guinea pig" classes that are now being run at the dog club we go to. While I don't think I'll ever compete with Charlie (we'll stick to agility, perhaps some canine freestyle later on down the track) it is a very enjoyable sport- so much more so than traditional obedience. We've just graduated from rally one and am starting rally two this coming Wednesday night. Everyone should give it a go!

Hi everyone,
As some of you might remember, I ws training my Lab, Leah, in Tracking. We had fun, but they don't give tracking classes at my kennel club. Well, we tried Rally this week at the kennel club and loved it! She was great, it's really helped her heel and sit, and she's also much better on walks.
Does anyone else do Rally? I'm aiming to compete Leah someday, because we hae so much fun doing it.[/quote]

I have heard of Rallying
I work at a animal shelter and there is a german shepard named Rico he could use rallying!!!!!
just saying hi!

My sister did Rally with her lab Echo.... They entered some Rally-O trials and were good.

Are you and Leah enjoying Rally? Keep us updated

That's cool! I have a lot of respect for search and rescue dogs. If your dog passed the CGC test than she should be great at rally!

this seems like it would be fun to do. my german shephard, Adonis is going to do serch and rescue as a job. right now he is the "second in command" at our boarding facility called K-9 Funcamp.
i think Adonis would be good at this since he has al ready completed his "k-9 good citizen" test.

thanks for telling, it will be something i will definately look into

Link went away. Is that the rules here?

Maybe try dogrally [dot] org.

I didn't know what rally was, but that site says it's a course with 10-20 stations where you have to stop and have your dog do a "skill" or "exercise" to the judge's satisfaction before moving on to the next one.

Sounds interesting. I'll look for a video of this.

Oh sorry.
Here's a link:

Leah is learning faster than ever before, and seems to really have fun with it. I'm so happy we started the training class!
