You've taken foundation skills/basic obedience, now what? Rally Obedience, that's what!!!. Rally takes your basic obedience skills to the next level. You'll learn the novice level Rally signs such as Call Front, Weave, Pivot, and Spiral and you'll be practicing your foundation skills in a distracting environment. As handlers are encouraged to motivate their dog through the use of praise, food rewards, and hand signals, Rally is a great sport that builds on team work and engagement.
Rally Obedience is offered in our Expeditioner (Dock Diving!, Scent Detection, Rally), Discoverer (Scent Detection, TeamWalks!, Rally) Explorer (Rally, TeamWalks!, Tricks) and Explorer Day (Rally, TeamWalks!). Our other training tracks are Intrepid (Dock Diving!, Tricks, Disc), Adventurer (Agility, Working Rally, Dock Diving!) and Navigator (Working Rally, Dock Diving!, Agility).

Karin Apfel
Karin has been training and competing with dogs for over 25 years in Rally-O, flyball and agility. Her passion for the past few years has been detection work, particularly teaching sporting detection for competition. After discovering the value of scent work to build confidence in nervous or reactive dogs and the true enjoyment all dogs get from using their primary sense to play games, she worked with several law enforcement and private detection professionals and, in 2012, started the Sporting Detection Dogs Association in partnership with several other trainers. She is currently the president of the SDDA and teaches weekly classes in detection in Newmarket.
