Kennel Club Rally Training

KC RALLY TRAINING

KC Rally is a fun and engaging dog sport that offers a fantastic way to strengthen the bond between you and your canine companion. Unlike traditional obedience, Rally is designed to be more relaxed and encourages constant communication and teamwork as you navigate a course of numbered stations.

Each station presents a different exercise, from various turns and paces to sits, downs, and recalls, all performed in a flowing, continuous manner. It’s a dynamic activity that keeps both handler and dog mentally stimulated and actively involved.

We offer one-day workshops as well as 6 week courses, so you can try it out without a long term commitment and then enrol on a course if you want to develop your skills.

Benefits of Rally training courses

This unique discipline is incredibly beneficial for both dogs and owners. For dogs, it provides an excellent mental workout, teaching them focus and responsiveness in a stimulating environment.

The continuous movement and variety of exercises keep them engaged and prevent boredom, while the positive, encouraging nature of the sport builds their confidence.

For owners, Rally teaches clear communication skills, patience, and the joy of working as a team with their dog, regardless of their dog’s breed or previous training experience.

Fun for dogs and owners alike

Rally is particularly good for building a dog’s confidence and improving their responsiveness in a fun, non-competitive atmosphere, making it accessible to dogs of all ages and abilities, including those who might find other sports too intense.

The emphasis is on teamwork and having fun, making it a rewarding experience that deepens the connection between you and your furry friend. It’s an excellent way to apply and expand on basic obedience skills in a practical and enjoyable format.
