Tassie Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Great brags. Agree about Rally - my agility/tracking girl likes it a lot - and she doesn't "do" obedience :D Guess your kids are a great example of the fact that Rally isn't going to adversely affect their tradiitional obedience - the opposite if anything. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By it's very nature, it encourages handlers and dogs to train in small increments, the moves required for every level of Obedience. It is not easier, just more natuaral and less intimidating. The courses change at every trial which is mentally stimulating & fun & may also assist one in getting used to walking & analyzing an Agility course. Handlers can praise & encourage their dogs, and move more naturally,. Handlers can ask for a retry, if needed, which is much more affirming of one's ability to carry out the exercise. The judge is observing, but not giving direct orders and is usually not as close to the dog/handler physically, as they would be in Obedience Therefore, although RALLY O., requires all the training for Obedience, it allows handlers and dogs to begin to show off their dogs, in competition, in a less intimidating, more natural way.
