Division 124 - Rally Classes:
RULES:
A. Rally obedience is a dog sport based on obedience. Many of the Rally exercises are the same as, or have the same parts (elements) of traditional obedience.
B. Rally obedience is a dog performance class that uses directional signs that are numbered to indicate the course the handler is to follow during the performance. The team of dog and handler heel from sign to sign, and perform the exercises indicated by the numbered sign at each location. At the start sign, the judge gives permission to start the course and then the dog and handler go through the course. The judge will say “Are you ready”? followed by “Forward.” No other directives are given. The course consists of signs that instruct the team what to do. Unlike traditional obedience, handlers are allowed to encourage their dogs during the course. There are 4 classes and the number of stations/signs is noted below (start and finish signs are not included in the sign count and are automatically used). Signs may be duplicated and used more than one time to create the course.
CLASS NUMBER:
G10. Beginning Rally - Dog is on leash and there are 5 to 10 stations. These beginning Rally signs are suggested - halt sit, halt down dog, right turn, left turn, about turn right, slow pace, fast pace, and normal pace. These are the same commands that exhibitors use in beginning novice obedience levels.
G11. Rally 1 - Dog is on leash and there are 10 to 15 stations.
G12. Rally 2 - Dog is on leash and there are 12 to 17 stations.
G13. Rally 3 - Dog is off leash and there are 15 to 20 stations.
NOTE: Although every course will have many of the same exercises, the sequence of those exercises in the course design may vary. As the levels go up the difficulty of the exercises goes up as in ordinary obedience. Our rally classes will follow the AKC rules for the same levels. The signs and rules are available online at AKC’s website. A difference between rally and regular obedience is that you may talk to your dog as much as you want to guide and instruct him.
