Description
Take the next step in your Rally journey! This class builds on the skills from Novice Rally Signs, helping you and your dog put all the Novice-level signs together into full courses. You’ll focus on maintaining focus and smooth heeling, executing complete courses with confidence, and preparing your team for in-person or virtual trialing.
We’ll work with AKC Novice-level courses, including select AKC Virtual Rally options. If time allows and you choose to participate, you’ll have the opportunity to video your runs for submission. While in-person trialing is always encouraged, AKC does accept virtual legs (note: these are not eligible for the Rally National Championship). Handlers interested in virtual submissions are responsible for understanding the program requirements.
Prerequisite:
• Dogs must have strong food motivation.
• Handlers must have a thorough understanding of all AKC/ASCA Novice signs, and dogs must be able to perform them reliably.
• Completion of Novice Rally Signs or instructor approval is required.
