Rally
Rally
Rally obedience is another great way to get into a fun sport with your dog. In rally obedience you and your dog work as a team with your dog in “heel” position. Every 10 to 15 feet there is a station with an obedience exercise. You and your dog perform it and briskly move to the next station. You’ll complete sits, downs, turns and a multitude of other fun obedience exercises. The biggest difference between rally and competition obedience is that you can talk to your dog throughout the entire course. It’s a great way to prepare a dog for formal obedience. However some people just stick to rally. Either way it’s a lot of fun. You’ll start with your dog on leash and as you and your dog progress you move to off leash work.
To learn more about rally the best thing to do is visit a rally competition or stop on in and watch our advanced rally dogs in action. They are performing on Thursday evenings at 6:00pm at Dogue Spot.

This class is for all dogs, age 1 year and older, that have current vaccinations and are physically sound.Note: Completion of Good Dog Manners 101 is required prior to enrolling in agility classes.
Beginners 2
Your dog must be at least 12 months old and previously completed at least one session (8 weeks) of Beginner 1 agility classes and be able to perform each individual obstacle safely with minimal assistanceRequirements for Agility
- Basic obedience: sit, down, wait, come, off leash control
- Dogs over 6 months old can participate with limitations on certain equipment due to their growth (i.e. jumps are kept very low)
- Dogs with excess weight can become injured easily doing agility so your dog should be lean
- Food Motivated
- You (the handler) must wear appropriate foot gear. NO FLIP FLOPS. Tennis shoes only.
- Open minded, fun and patient. Never force or pull a dog onto equipment.
- If you have not graduated a 101 program at Dogue Spot you and your dog will need to attend one L2 obedience class (just one hour) so we can evaluate your skills. If at that time you and your dog can demonstrate basic obedience skills you can start in agility. If not then you can decide if you’d like to continue with us and first compete a L1 or L2 obedience class.
