Level 1, this is a fun 6 lesson course providing the basics and foundations of the fun sport of Rally O’. This is for dogs over 5 months. You will need to have some basic foundations in obedience before the course.
What is Rally-O? Obedience… but fun!
Rally Obedience (also known as Rally-O) is a relatively new fun dog-sport based on traditional dog obedience but carried out in a more informal and relaxed style,
with the handler having familiarised themselves with a course of sequential signs. Unlike in traditional obedience, handlers are allowed to encourage their dogs during the course, so you may use as much verbal praise and petting as you wish. It can be a great way to increase your bond with your dog, and to help you and your dog develop skills that can be applied in everyday life, or in other dog-sports.
You will learn 33 novice signs throughout this course and be supplied with laminated ones so you can practice at home or in a park. At the end of each lesson you will participate in a little course covering the signs that you have learnt that lesson.
Cost $310 (includes 33 laminated signs)
Prerequisites?
A general grasp on obedience: sitting and walking manners would be helpful. A basic obedience course would be a good idea beforehand BUT not a necessity.
Competition?
If wanting to compete, options will be available to continue to that standard, definitely not a requirement.
Upcoming beginners course?
Here are some videos of dogs learning Rally, followed by testimonials below.
Testimonials for Rally Obedience
Coorah and I have really enjoyed our classes with Debbie. We have recently completed our beginners Rally O class. As well as being a lot of fun it has been very bonding for puppy and human. Thanks Debbie
Joined the Rally O beginners class,it is a brilliant class. So much fun for myself and my dog. Both of us have learnt new things and can’t wait to carry on. Excellent class if just wanting fun with your fur baby or want to take it more seriously. Highly recommend.
Debbie has been a great help to me with Jordee my Border Collie. She gave me the confidence to enter her into Rally O Trials and I am so grateful for that.
Debbie puts her heart and soul into her business and anyone who listens and follows her advice will achieve their goal. Thank You Debbie.
Hi Debbie just wanted to say a big thank you for the puppy training and for the follow on rally classes.Our GSD “Catch” needs a lot of stimulation and socialisation at all times. Since attending the training at Allsorts Dog and Puppy School, he’s been more obedient and definitely a lot more gentle with the children and people in general. I too have learnt a lot during these training sessions. This has helped me to bond with my dog ? ? a lot better!!!What a bonus!!! I look forward to continuing on with the rally classes !!! Thank you.
It’s been great in regard to desensitising my Kelpie in regard to her getting too excited around new dogs . My dog is better at listening and much better at walking next to me instead of dragging me along . I would recommend these classes to any dog owners.
