Rally (AKC) / (APDT) - This is the newest class offered by Tri-State Dog Obedience Club. Rally Style Obedience is an obedience program that emphasizes fun and excitement for the dog, handler and spectator, by providing a more "natural" approach to the performance. Rally Style Obedience uses "directional signs" to guide the handler throughout the performance in a manner somewhat similar to that of Rally Car Racing.
