Looking for something new and exciting to teach your dog?

Then the Pets in Practise Rally-O classes are just what you are looking for.

Rally-O is a new dog sport from America.  Dog and handler teams navigate a course whilst performing different exercises such as ‘sit’, ‘send over jump’ and ‘left turn’.  Handlers are encouraged to talk to and praise their dogs whilst navigating the course.

These classes are suitable for dogs of any age provided they have already undertaken some basic obedience training (a good level of loose lead walking and a grasp of basic commands such as sit and down is recommended before starting a Rally-O course).  Rally-O courses vary in their difficulty from Level One to Level Three.

Watch this video for an idea of what is involved.

The course duration is 6 weeks and classes are held at the following location:

Where: Burghfield Village Hall - Burghfield Common - Saturday Afternoons (Show map)
