Tiggy Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 We still have four months until the Rally-O seminar in Perth, I can't wait! I found this DVD on Dogwise and was wondering if anyone has watched it. http://www.dogwise.com/ItemDetails.cfm?ID=DTO245 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelsun Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 Just a reminder that many of the videos on youtube or DVD's found on various book sites are not exactly what will be utilized under the ANKC rules when this sport is recognized, so although they can be a useful tool, don't study them so much that you follow either rules or signs as this won't be what really is used. There are some video's uploaded and can be found through the Rally Obedience Down Under forum located at: http://z3.invisionfree.com/RallyODownUnder/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I've noticed in rally the dog drops from a sit and the left about turn has to be with the dog going around the handler. I'm wondering if this is going to be a problem with obedience trialing dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelsun Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) The dog doesn't always drop froma sit, there is a moving down exercise for example. The station that reads "left about turn" has the handler doing an about turn to the left, and the dog going behind the handler and to the right, to end up back on the handlers left to heel. It doesn't confuse the dogs beleive it or not, because another command is used such as 'around'. There are many other exercises that are not done in traditional obedience, but I have found that instead of confusing dogs, the tend to work better. Want to say that the Shepparton bunch were fantastic this weekend and we had a great time both in class and on the field!! The dogs worked great and the weather was very cooperative. I think a bunch of people had information overload, but generally everyone did VERY well today at the practical portion of the seminar and I think we had a high score of 96 or 97 at one point on a tough course...so WELL DONE!!

hopenfox Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 angelsun, I just wanted to thank you for this amazing weekend at Shepparton! I really enjoyed myself (and I think my dogs did too). I learnt heaps and can't wait to start introducing/integrating Rally into my club's training classes. I look forward seeing Rally O trials held in Victoria soon!

Mas1981 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 It'll be a DOL meet ;) . I think I will make a plan to crate train before July as I guess the dogs will need to be left alone for awhile while the humans to certain things. I look forward to the seminar though.

angelsun Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 Just remember....the seminar is to teach YOU to teach your dog....when you are marked on the Sunday, it's not about what your dog can do or not do, but if you have learned from the lecture on the Saturday. Only the bare bones basics of obedience are really needed and only so you don't get frustrated doing the courses. Do not underestimate your dogs ability..you will be amazed at what you as a team can do in this sport compared to traditional obedience work.

angelsun Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 Guarantee that all will enjoy and do well (ok, well maybe after the first run which traditionally everyone chokes on!) This is a very fun sport, and after you get to listen to me talk all day on Saturday, you will be MORE than ready to put the lessons to practice. Besides....on the Sunday, I'm not allowed to talk when judging....which might be a good thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
