I am excited to be going over to work with Rick van Eggermond and his team to share a day of obedience sport filled fun 😊
SOOOOOOOO…… We have something exciting for you all coming up after the summer holidays!
One of Rick’s colleagues from the Victoria Stilwell Academy is Jo Pay who you may recognise from The Dog Academy on Channel 4.
She is coming to our training barn on Sunday 22nd September to run a fun filled Rally Obedience workshop!
Here’s a little bit about Jo and and what this day will be all about!
Jo Pay, has been a dog trainer for 28 years, running classes, working on behaviour cases, and starring on Channel 4’s The Dog Academy!
Jo is a Kennel Club Rally Judge, she competed with her dogs Indie, who achieved Excellence status at all 6 levels at competition, and with Twist, who has just started out by winning at his first competition.
This workshop will suit pet owners who enjoy doing new activities with their dogs, anyone who trains dog obedience, dog trainers who want to add something a little different as additional enrichment to their existing classes.
Handlers of all ages and abilities can take part in Rally and there are no age or breed restrictions for dogs in this fun sport.
KC Rally Obedience is a fun sport aimed at pet dogs and their owners who want to train together, learning to navigate a course of obedience style stations, having fun, improving focus & communication and even competing if they choose to.
There are over 60 different stations across 6 levels, giving a limitless number of challenges and courses for dog and handler, this really is the sport that keeps on giving!
The really good thing about KC Rally is that you can play with it and practise easily in your home, garden and out on your walks, no special equipment is needed.
KC Rally can help to promote good communication skills between dogs and owners, increase dogs’ concentration on their owner and boosts dogs and owners confidence.
There are lots of KC Rally trials and competitions run around the UK and with the skills learned on this course could give you the boost to join a new competitive sport with your dog.
In the workshop you will learn…
Foundation of the rules of KC RallyO
RallyO station signs
How to lay a RallyO course
Handling skills for obedience sports
How to use reinforcement for obedience sports
Canine Conditioning exercises that will support the physicality of the sport
