Coming soon... November and December events

Rally Obedience Coming Soon!

If you are looking for something new to do with your dog, I have something for you. Rally Obedience is one of the newest competetive dog sports from the APDT and the AKC. The emphasis is on fun. Rally involves a timed run on a course that includes10-20 signs for you and your dog to complete mainly in the heel position. You can check the APDT website for information about Rally Obedience. My next Intermediate II class is July 8th Wednesday at 6pm. Sign up soon; space is limited to 6 dogs and handlers. I look forward to seeing you there!
