4 WEEK INTERMEDIATE-ADVANCEDRALLY CLASS
STARTING WEDNESDAY 12/6 AT 5:00!

Rally is a dog sport that relies on the teamwork, connection, and understanding that you and your dog have for each other.

Hannah and her 1.5 yo Bedlington Terrier, Breitling, are a prime example of this, and have had much success in this sport. Breitling is the highest scoring Bedlington in the sport currently and on the way to making history as the first Bedlington Terrier to earn its RACH (championship title).

This duo placed 1st in every trial they competed in at the Cranberry Cluster Dog Show this past summer, and qualified for the 2024 AKC Rally National Championship next year with the high scores of 100, 98, and 97 they received while achieving their Excellent Title.

Hannah will be helping to guide you & your dog as you navigate rally courses & learn the sport together- for the next 4 weeks!
