Start your Rally journey here!

This introductory class presents the basic skills needed for success in the Rally ring, including attentive heeling, pace changes, position changes, fronts and finishes, and pivot work.  Using fun, positive training techniques, this class will build teamwork between handler and dog in a supportive environment.

This class gets you ready for our next level, Rally Skills, where you’ll learn the Novice level signs/exercises and will start running mini courses. 

If you’re ready to get started, but you’re not finding a group Rally Foundations that fits your schedule, you may book Private Lessons with one of the Rally trainers to work through the same material.
