A Dukes Approach

A Dukes Approach Kennel Club Accredited Judges Trainer and Judge for Rally Obedience. Weekly In person Rally classes

I have been training and competing with my own dogs in Kennel Club Obedience, Heelwork to Music, Agility, Rally Obedience and Ruff Dugger for over 14 years now. I have been a qualified Rally Obedience Judge for 10 years and an Agility Judge for 3 years. I am a qualified KC Accredited Judges Trainer who can train others to become judges in Rally Obedience. I take training classes in Rally Obedience to help people understand it more whether to compete or to just play about with your dog.

☀️A Dukes Approach Rally Show☀️

Helpers and scribes needed

If anyone is needing scribing experience to progress on their judging journey let me know below which levels you need and I’ll try and accommodate you.

I am also in need of helpers to assist with running the show alongside me.

If you are able to help in any way that would be very much appreciated.

Can everyone comment on this post if you can help or scribe please.

Thanks you ☺️

Rally Course Practice Day!

an opportunity to practice on two Rally Obedience courses in a non-competition environment

Venue = Cairneyhill Scout Group, Northbank Rd, Cairneyhill, Dunfermline KY12 8RN

Saturday 9th August 2025

2 x 2.5 hour Sessions (max 10 dogs per session)
Morning Session = 10:00 to 12:30pm (Levels 1-4)
Afternoon Session = 13:00 to 15:30 (Levels 5-6)

Price = £12 per dog, per session

Two Rally courses will be set up in each session which will both be made up of the KC signs appropriate for the session you are in.

You can work the 2 courses as if you were in a competition, or train any element with a silent toy or food rewards.

Course walking will take place for all participants before each course and then each handler/dog partnership will have up to 5 minutes to work or train on that course.

Courses will be designed to be worked off lead (although you can work on lead if you wish- especially for the first course in the morning session)

Please remember to bring your dogs favourite treats and toy, something for them to relax on whilst waiting, food for yourself.
There will be refreshments available on the day.

If you would like to book a place please email me on- [email protected]
