Rally Obedience Classes

When and Where

All classes are held at the San Diego Zoo Parking Lot
class days and start times vary — If interested, please see current offerings below or contact us. 

Rally Obedience class, as described in the AKC regulations, the dog will “demonstrate willingness and enjoyment while it is working and that the handler and dog appear to be working together as a team.”  This class builds on the beginning and intermediate obedience classes.


In Rally Obedience, you and your dog navigate a course together, side-by-side, at your own brisk pace. You move the dog through a course with signs (42 are used in Novice!). At each sign you and your dog perform different exercises that include a variety of turns and commands such as sit, down, stand, stay, etc. 

The classes teach you what the signs mean and how to best perform the exercises for your level of competition. Rally develops better teamwork between you and your dog and sharpens your dog's obedience skills and behavior, both at home and in public. Rally encourages you to use voice commands as well as hand signals to help your dog learn. These voice and hand signals are also used during a trial.  This is an exciting and fun way to teach your dog new skills. (Current AKC Rally Rules)


— Training level required for Novice Rally: CGC title, including the following basic obedience skills: sit, down, come, finish and heeling reasonably well at owner's side.
