Pawformance Sports (PDS) offerings are terrific for all dogs, not just for the ones that need a job!
Give your dog special time with you and get some exercise while taking your dog's training to the next level!
Get off of the couch! Rally-0 this is a perfect class to attend when cabin fever makes life a little stressful this winter. Courses are posted with an exercise to perform noted at each station. You use commands and signals learned at class to perform the skills at each. Every course is set up differently from the week before. Unlike traditional obedience, chat and praise are encouraged as you travel around the course. Note - in AKC Rally food and toys are not used to lure pets around the course, here you are truly performing with your pet - not at it!
Rally-O may be done for titling in the AKC ring. Three qualifiying scores under two or more different judges are needed to title. Or for recreational fun only, you don't have to compete to participate! If you follow instruciton, the skills acquired will provide practice with your every day handling. Everyone deserves a well behaved dog! Your dog will love the time at class and so will you! There are numberous trials held in MI - inquire!
Pets DO attend the first class!
Class goal: Providing an enjoyable class with challenging exercises and constructive fun with your pet. Great perks include enhancing bond-building with your pet, getting exercise and having fun with others! Reduce cabin fever during the winter months and spend time with others that enjoy special time with their pets in a no-drama atmosphere. Terrific outlet for pets and trainers both to get mental and physical exercise.
Prerequisites: Results Obedience & Manners Level Two or Two Plus! and instructor permission.
Please join the first available session offered following your Rally-O Introduction class end.
If you want to take this class to polish your training and enjoy special time here at the dog house, note there is no pressure to title. The Novice level is performed on leash. Advanced and Excellent levels are off leash and include jumping if desired - for your pet, not you... ; ) Your pet is started off leash as it demonstrates that it is ready for same!
Rally is an excellent way to fine tune your handling for practical off leash obedience and agility, too! It reinforces responsive obedience in a more relaxed way when compared to traditional show ring obedience. Similar to mixture of horse dressage and a rally car course - you and your dog move as a team performing different obedience moves which are posted at each station. The exercises or station sequences vary which keeps Rally an intersting way to train. Praise and chat are encouraged!
Bring: A towel if conditions are wet to dry your dog off before class. Health updates if any, equipment including your pet's 'park-it' mat and your RDT folder.
Fees: See the Schedule page. The fee noted is for the same trainer and pet.
