A CAT School exclusive program! An exciting sport which combines tricks, obedience, rally and conditioning/confidence skills. Compete and earn titles!
We offer TORC classes, seminars, fun matches, run-thrus & competitions!
Rally (also referred to as Rally-O or Rally Obedience) is a sport in which the dog and handler maneuver through a course comprised of stations (10-20 depending on the level). Each station has a sign providing instructions regarding the skill to be performed. An example of a station sign would be: “Halt. Sit. Walk around dog”. This is a great way to practice all those focusing and manners skills you’ve worked on in other classes and helps you prepare to compete, if desired.
Group class available Sundays
We also have Pop-up "try it" hours for new or seasoned teams to come and try or practice Rally. Click HERE to find the dates.
