Rally-O is an exciting new competition that offers an 'alternative' to more traditional obedience trials. The dog and handler compete in a course laid out by the judge, however unlike traditional competitive obedience, dogs and handlers follow signs placed on the course rather than cues called by the judge. Dogs and handlers move at their own pace through the course following the instructions laid out at each 'station'.

During the progression through the course, handlers are able to talk to their dogs, praise and encourage them, clap their hands, pat their legs or use any means of verbal encouragement. Although the handler is not allowed to physically touch to reward the dog, neither are they allowed to give corrections; loud or harsh cues or intimidating gestures will be severely penalised.

Currently we do not offer a specialised agility class. However the agility course comprises a regular component of the Intermediate and Advanced classes.

Assistance is available for people who wish to compete in Agility trials so long as their dog has completed the Beginners class.
