Finish Left Sit & Finish Left Forward

Here's a demo of how to do a Finish Left in Rally.  This demo shows you how to do the finish left with a sit at the end in heel position, and also shows how to do the finish left forward.

Handlers must not step forward or backwards to aid the dog as the dog moves toward heel position during the exercises.

My Intro to Rally - 9

  This is the 9 th  edition of the Introduction to Novice Rally We’ll be discussing  more Novice turns (Change of Direction – COD) that have not been covered. We’ll also talk about Warming up your Dog before training. Here are 5 new Novice Rally signs we’ll work with this time. 29 37 38 39 40 The first turn is a turn we have been doing in obedience for years.   Some of us have called it “turn in to your dog” over the years. AKC names it “Left About Turn” for the Rally sign.   If you look at the diagram, the large arrow is the dog’s path and the small arrow is the handler’s path.   This gives you a good idea of where the movement is when executing this sign.   If your dog knows how to go around you clockwise, give him that command/signal before you commit to turning yourself to the left. The next four signs, #s 37, 38, 39, & 40 were designed by AKC in 2017 to give judges more angles/

My Introducton to Rally - 1

If you’re interested in learning about AKC Rally, you may already have a dog that can do the required skills, as long as you, too, can perform the required skills.  😊 The hardest thing about Rally is for you, the handler, to perform the skill and know how to get your dog to do their part.  If you make a mistake, so does your dog.  Most of the deductions in Rally are caused by the Handler!!! 😮 Are you ready to try some Rally Signs?  When you do a course with signs, the signs will be on your right.  Signs will generally be on the right until you get to a turn sign.  Then that sign will be on the course path (in front of you).  So when you practice them, get used to these signs being placed about a foot in front of you on your right.   This is Sign #3.  When you arrive at this sign, you will stop and your dog will Sit.  Pretty easy, right?  You need to know what you need to do to get your dog to sit when you stop.  If you haven’t done any “heeling” with your dog, he may not know

My Introduction to Rally - 2

  AN INTRODUCTION TO RALLY - 2 This is the 2 nd lesson of the Introduction to Rally Last time I mentioned to you that the Rally signs will be on your right, except for a sign where you will turn to the right or left or you’ll do a 180.  In this case, these signs will be placed DIRECTLY in front you on the path you are walking. Below is a very accurate diagram of the placement of signs for a course.   You will see that the COD (Change of Direction) signs are directly in your walking path (arrows).  You will also see that signs #2 & 4, from lesson 1, are continuous signs in this course. (You will continue to walk in the same direction after performing these signs)   These signs are placed on your right in this course.  There is a text box with the 6 sign numbers used in this course.  This is the order of the signs for this course.  This list not only helps you to easily pull these signs to lay out a course, but it also lets the handler know the order of signs.
