Rally Novice (on leash)
The Session 4 (August 2024) Rally Novice class filled on July 12th @ 3:12 pm
AKC Rally® is all about teamwork. You and your dog navigate a course together, side-by-side, at your own brisk pace through a course with signs directing 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.
