Rally obedience

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rally obedience (also known as Rally or Rally-O) is an American dog sport based on obedience. However, instead of waiting for the judge's orders, the competitors proceed around a course of designated stations with the dog in heel position. The course consists of 10 to 20 signs that instruct the team what to do. The team starts with 100 points, and the judge deducts points for mistakes.

There are three levels:

  • Novice, the easiest class. The dog is on leash and there are 10 to 15 stations. In AKC rules, dog can earn the title RN, which appears after the dog's registered name.
  • Advanced, for dogs who have completed their novice title. Dogs are judged off leash. In AKC, the title is RA.
  • Excellent, the highest class, for dogs who have earned their advanced title. 15 to 20 stations, including 2 jumps, are used in this class. In AKC, the title is RE.

Unlike in traditional obedience, handlers are allowed to encourage their dogs during the course.
