Class Description 

This course is designed for the teams that have a solid background in off-leash heeling including multiple changes of direction. The dog must have a reliable sit, down, stand, stay, and recall. The use of the handler’s voice/signal for commands are both acceptable.

This course will emphasize the signs from the Excellent and Masters levels and will include practice of correct footwork as well as developing a smooth, flowing style of navigating a complete course from “start” to “finish.” As needed, attention will be paid to methods of teaching a dog to do the movements required in some of the more “difficult” signs.

This course should give teams what they need to be shining stars in the 2023 rally season.

The use of crates will be required at all class meetings so that all handlers can be free to walk the course and practice without their dogs.
