Ann Arbor Dog Training Club

DESCRIPTION: AKC Rally is intended as a stepping-stone to the more formal AKC obedience, with many exhibitors doing rally prior to competitive obedience. Rally is divided into the following levels: Rally Novice and Intermediate both performed on-leash, followed by off-leash Advanced, Excellent, and Master levels. (Rally Intermediate is an optional level.). Rally classes help prepare the handler/dog team to compete competitively in Rally and have fun working on obedience skills at the same time.  The focus of Introduction to Rally is on the various signs that will be used in Rally Novice, Intermediate, and Advance.
