In Rally, a dog and handler team complete a course of 10 to 20 designated stations, each station requiring a different skill (sit, down, reverse, etc).
In some ways, it might be considered 'Obedience Light' as it allows verbal commands and encouragement, and has less formality than Obedience Competition.
In a way, it's almost like Simon Says.
Come watch experienced dogs run through the course, then give it a try yourself.
It's a fun challenge, no matter how much training your dog has had.
Prizes are given to all who try.
