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/
