In this class, you will learn the Novice level Rally Obedience signs. We will be building on basic obedience skills to master such things as Call Front, Weave, Pivot, and Spiral. Handlers are encouraged to motivate their dog through the use of praise, food rewards, and hand signals. Your dog should know to heel, sit, down and stay. All dogs will be working on lead at this level.
Rally Obedience is offered in our Navigator (Musical Freestyle, Tricks, Agility) and Explorer (Rally Obedience, Flyball, Musical Freestyle) tracks. Our other training tracks are Adventurer (Agility, Rat Hunt, Disc Dog) and Expeditioner (Disc Dog, Rally Obedience, Rat Hunt) tracks.

Nancy Trus
Nancy comes to Camp Doggin’ It from Ottawa. She can be found teaching three levels of obedience, puppy kindergarten, rally obedience classes and sometimes therapy dog preparation classes through Best Friends School of Dog Training where she has worked since 2005. To Nancy it is important that the handlers and dogs don't just learn in her classes, they have fun doing so. Her love of working with animals and their people makes each class a joy to be in. This love has translated into therapy work with seniors, children and individuals with disabilities in both therapeutic horseback riding and visiting therapy pet programs. Nancy has been an active member of Therapeutic Paws of Canada bringing the love of her cats and dogs to those in need since 2002. Nancy also helped develop obedience classes and training seminars which she teaches for the Ottawa Humane Society. She also puts in regular appearances as a guest speaker on topics such as basic manners and puppy development for Tail Waggers K9 sport training in Pembroke, ON.
Nancy's current canine companion Solace has titles in Rally Obedience, the new dog sport Brush Hunt, has received her Canine Good Citizen certification and has three Trick Dog titles. Her newest canine family member, Gambit, passed his therapy dog evaluations in late 2017 and is now visiting in Ottawa Police stations to provide stress relief for police officers and staff.
