Waggin' Tails Rally Program

The Rally Course Outline

Each class teaches Rally exercises from both AKC and APDT courses. You and your dog will improve your heeling, learn and practice all the exercises, and practice running rally courses we have seen at trials. If your dog already knows how to sit, down, stand, stay, and heel (does not have to be perfect) then you can learn Rally.
