Rally became an official AKC titling event in 2005. It is sometimes described as a combination of agility and obedience and is a fun and exciting team sport for dogs and their handlers! Dog and handler teams navigate a course with numbered signs indicating different exercises to perform such as Sit-Down-Sit, Figure 8, Send Over Jump, Spiral Left, Side Step Right, and Down on Recall. Each run is a different series of exercises and the emphasis is on teamwork and having fun.
