Henrietta Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Hi everyone, Can anyone recommend me some good resources/books regarding Rally-O? It looks like a lot of fun. I have no view to compete (fear aggressive and nervous dog, slowly growing in confidence). But I think my girl and I would benefit from doing something a bit different, that requires a high level of focus. It seems like something we could do to hone in our focus and obedience skills which are very important in our daily management and behaviour modification efforts. If it is something that we could do onlead both at home and in safe areas, it would make me happy knowing that the skills I have worked on could potentially translate to 'doing a course' even if it is just for fun. I understand that there is nothing like getting the help of a good trainer in the supportive environment of a club, but there are no clubs around me doing Rally - O. Any resources that people would recommend, there are a few books on Dogwise... http://www.dogwise.com/itemdetails.cfm?ID=DTO206 http://www.dogwise.com/itemdetails.cfm?ID=DTO226 http://www.dogwise.com/itemdetails.cfm?ID=DTO231 It can be very basic, because I am not from a competition obedience background. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaseyKay Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I have "click your way to rally obedience" and I would recommend it, it groups the signs together into moves you would teach. I don't think you would need to clicker train to use it. My dogs and I have competed in agility, obedience and tracking and I now have my retired girl and my 10 months pup doing rally, we all love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelsun Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Actually Rally would do your fearful dog a lot of good as it's highly positive and no away sit/down situations. I've seen many dogs with baggage handle Rally very well and end up a far better dog for doing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that was kind of my line of thinking Angelsun... gives us something really fun and positive to do. I'm really excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
