fuzzy82 Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 For number 3, you can download the rules from here: http://www.ankc.org.au/Rules.aspx I read them the other day and I seem to remember something about where to perform each exercise, and it depends if it's a stationary exercise too. I can't remember the specifics though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 There is going to be a DVD available on how to do each exercise, not finished as yet. A bit further back in this thread there was a post relating to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Ok delayed reaction on my part but to rally being official from 2012. I knew there was a reason I hadn't started obedience trialling yet, rally will ease me into it, :D and I might even give Sophie a go too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSD's 4EVER Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Going to a seminar on the 20th. The more you tube clips I see on this discipline, the more I think it will be great for my dog. She's a great little heeling dog but hasn't started her Ob trialling career because she's very wary of humans & SFE is taking a lot of time to build her confidence. Getting into Rally-O will build her experience in ring craft without a judge coming any where near her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Shell*~ Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 As a professional dog trainer and competitor in numerous dog sports, I am enthusiastic and eager to learn more and to get involved in rally myself as well as to offer lessons I still need to claify some things 1-which signs people find most difficult to train and why 2-what are the methods people are finding most effective for training for the difficult signs 3-where does one begin to perform the exercise. Some signs seem to dicate starting a few paces BEFORE the sign, What is the point of view on where to start I think the most difficult ones to train depend on the dog. I found for Zero, the toughest one is the "back up 3 steps, dog stays in heel position" sign but he's incredibly uncoordinated so that doesn't surprise me. I have heard of people who have dogs who do it easily. I know people who have problems doing a moving stand - Z's is solid and always has been. Techincally the hardest ones should be the ones that are only used in the Excellent class but as i said, i think it's up to the individual dog. As for the where to perform the exercise, it depends on the sign. For example, a left or right turn is performed before the sign, but a moving side step is after or you risk hitting the sign.

Tassie Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Too hot down here to put Rory in the mock Rally trial held at lunch break in an am/pm obedience trial, and it was a Novice course setup, so I took the plunge and put my agility girl Kirra in - she's the one who doesn't 'believe' in formal obedience although she does play around with HTM. She had a ball, and pulled a pass (after a quick bit of training a couple of the moves she hadn't done before - and she gave me her high 10 that she does at the end of each agility run - so I think that means she had a great time .

Gamby Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I'm running rally-O classes on Sunday morning's at Geelong. It is a way to show off Rally-O to those who would like to know what it's all about or want to actually do the course with their dog. Sunday week ago a club member came in with her very big dog who glomps (?) around very slowly. The handler walked the course with her dog and the dog actually put a pep in it's step. What a great indication that Rally-O is a good thing. This morning the same handler took another dog on the course. Wow, it was so good to see. Two newbies came and had a go, I think they will be back the next time I set up a practice course. I'm looking forward to the Rally-O Rules workshop to be held on the 20th Nov at Bulla. It will be another chance to go through the rules and keep me up to date with what's going on. Thanks Anglesun for your enthusiastic introduction to Rally-O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveADog Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 If anyone is interested in training for Rally-O, Berwick Obedience Dog Club have started training. A Rally-O Course is set up each week for people to have a go at. We have a few junior handlers who are thinking this is the sport for them. Such a great stepping stone to normal Obedience Trialling.

Canine Coach Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 We have been seting up Novice and Advanced courses ar Friends of Obedience (FOO) for the past 4 weeks It took us a couple of weeks to get it running smoothly as we are all learning as we go Last week, I and one other volunteer, put 27 people, through an 16 Exercise, Advanced course I am absolutely, totally, ethrilled to have the opportunity, of working with such a diverse group of talented, trainers and handlers, from beginners to very experienced & accomplished dogs and handlers, in this new fun sport! What a privilage ! As far as learning myself, I was on my own, till recently, and had never even SEEN Rally It is amazing, what one can accomplish, when one does not know what one can not do. LOL! Rally is a such fun game to play with your dog! I love, that one can continually encourage and praise I have now taught my dogs, 90% of the exercises, for Novice, Advanced and Excellent, using games and food and verbal and physical praise. The backing exercise, was the most challenging, We are not perfect yet, but we are getting there The people who come to me for Obedience lessons will now benefit, from me being my own, "guinea pig" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSD's 4EVER Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I'm loving what I've seen of it so far via You Tube. I'm working with my dog & she's really doing well IMO because she' a great little worker & loves to heel. It's quite a distance for me to go to KCC park, so I'm hoping there'll be something a bit closer & on my side of town that I can get to in the not too distant future.

Jumabaar Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 WOW- I participated in a mock comp tonight and managed a score of 90! I however didn't realise how hard it is to count to one, nor how hard it is to keep signs on my left (accounting for 5 lost points lmao). The dogs loved it so I can see it being a permanent sporting addition for them I will be entering here in sydney on the 7th and 28th!! Thanks to everyone who got the ball rolling for us with the sport!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
