Rally is a fun and flexible alternative to standard obedience competition. AKC Rally tests the communication and teamwork between handler and their dog.

Rally highlights positive reinforcement, promoting an enjoyable experience for both the dog and their handler. Rally Obedience focuses on the dog and handler working together as they navigate through a course with 10 to 20 different signs. Each sign displays a skill for the dog (and sometimes the handler) to perform, such as making 270-degree turns, or heeling.

When navigating the Rally course, the handler can speak to their dog, praise them for encouragement, and use body language. Depending on the level of Rally a dog is competing in, the event can be either on or off-leash.
