RALLY
Listing of rally signs are available on the county website. A class entry fee will be assessed per rally class. All fees are due at the pre-fair entry deadline. Fees are non-refundable. Rally obedience is a dog performance class that uses directional signs that are numbered to indicate the course the handler is to follow during the performance. The team of dog and handler heel from sign to sign and perform the exercises indicated by the numbered sign at the location. At the start sign, the judge gives permission to start the courses and then the dog and handler go through the courses. The judge will say “Are you ready?” followed by “Forward.” No other directives are given. The course consists of signs that instruct the team what to do. Unlike traditional obedience, handlers are allowed to encourage their dogs during the course. The number of stations/signs is noted below in the class description (start and finish signs are not included in the sign count and are automatically used). Signs may be duplicated and used more than one time to create the course.
PROCEDURE - Sequence and course map of the exercises will vary. The exhibitors will begin doing rally based on their level in obedience classes. Exhibitors must advance to the next level after receiving two blue ribbons. Jump heights are the same as agility classes.
