We hope everyone had a blast celebrating some amazing accomplishments this weekend at our summer obedience and rally trials. Over the last three days, two dogs earned their RACHs, one earned their OTCH, and we presented the first ever "Stan Dudek Legacy Award" in rally presented to the winner of Rally Novice A.

Congrats to all of our competitors and thank you to our judges and volunteers!

We are incredibly sad to share that Stan Dudek passed away a few days ago.

Stan was a longtime ODTC club member, mentor, student, and friend. He was well known in the Florida obedience and rally community for his infectious smile, joy, and the remarkable relationships he formed with his dogs. Our hearts go out to his family and all who loved him.

We have decided to dedicate our upcoming April trials to him and his memory. We are also proud to establish a new award presented to the Highest Scoring Rottweiler in Trial (including regular and optional-titling classes) entitled "The Stan Dudek Legacy Award".

After all, the Orlando Dog Training Club would look entirely different without him and he will certainly be missed. 🖤

Good evening to our ODTC members, students and friends! The Orlando Dog Training Club is now participating in the AKC Virtual Rally Novice titles. https://www.akc.org/sports/rally/rally-virtual-entry-pilot/

We have set up the virtual courses #2, #4, and #5. The rings are present and we have marked the spots where AKC wants your video camera to be. You will need to bring your own camera/person to film or a tripod for your camera. We have already set up the rings so ONLY our ODTC staffer will be touching any equipment.

We are accepting APPOINTMENTS ONLY TO COME use the rings. $15.00/ 30 minutes of time. You will be able to use all three rings and possibly earn your rally novice title. EXACT change or Check ONLY.

Appointments will be for 3 teams of dogs/handlers in the building per appointment time. YOU MUST schedule your appointment and show up on time. Please plan to come 10 minutes early to be ready for your time. No a/c, however the building roll up doors are open and it is quite comfortable and well lit.

Please email Linda Unger at [email protected] to schedule an appointment time.

On Wednesdays ONLY – there will be two rally rings open for use: 8:15 am, 9:00 am, 9:45 am, 10:45 and 11:15 am.

We are also making available obedience ring rental time on Wednesday mornings in a fully matted and equipped ring. Handlers will NOT touch equipment, jumps will be set up by our ODTC staff members. Toys/treats are allowed in the ring.

$15.00/30 minutes of time. You may bring a training partner or share the ring with a training buddy team but both teams will pay the $15.00 fee.

Wednesday May 6th, 8:15 am, 9:00 am, 9:45 am, 10:30 am, 11:15 am and 12:00 noon.

All social distancing guidelines must be followed. Equipment to be handled by ODTC team members only. We hope this helps everyone train their dogs, earn rally titles and remain safe while doing so.

Happy (and healthy) training, everybody!

During this time of necessary social distancing, we want to give our beginner AKC Rally® exhibitors a reason to continue training their dogs and to stay engaged with the sport of Rally. The AKC Rally Novice Virtual pilot program will provide these exhibitors an opportunity to stay-at-home and enter...
