Obedience/Rally

What is Obedience?

Obedience is a performance event. The judge does not base his decisions on the dog’s appearance or conformation, but rather scores the dog on its ability to do the activities asked by the handler (sit, stay, come, retrieve).  You can read more about the sport of Obedience on the AKC website at www.akc.org/sports/obedience.

What is Rally?

In Rally, the handler reads signs that tell him what commands to give his dog. The basics of obedience are used with some variations that challenge the dog and handler.   More information about Rally can be found www.akc.org/sports/rally.   Rally signs and descriptions are included in the AKC Rally rulebook found at www.akc.org/sports/rally/rally-resource-center.
