FUN STUFF

So what all is there to do with my dog?
Besides the obvious activities, like hiking or playing fetch etc, there are way more opportunities to have fun with your pup.  Below you will find some short introductions to a variety of activities and sports, but don't get discouraged if your dog isn't that social butterfly we would want him or her to be.  There are lots of things to do that doesn't involve other dogs or people.

Obedience Rally

Rally is the new dog sport that is taking the nation by storm, a successful stepping stone from the AKC Canine Good Citizen® program or the APDT C.L.A.S.S. program to the world of obedience or agility. Rally offers both the dogs and handlers an experience that is fun and energizing. The canine team moves at their own pace, very similar to rally-style auto racing. Rally was designed with the traditional pet owner in mind, but it can still be very challenging for those who enjoy higher levels of competition.
A rally course includes 10 to 20 stations, depending on the level. Scoring is not as rigorous as traditional obedience. Communication between handler and dog is encouraged and perfect heel position is not required, but there should be a sense of teamwork between the dog and handler.
