Rally uses basic obedience moves to navigate a “course” laid out with signs. The handler & dog team will learn the Rally signs. These signs are just a combination of sits, downs, and heeling. Rally is a fun and exciting way to promote a positive working relationship between handler and dog while offering the chance to earn AKC titles. As always, you can just take this class for a great night out with the dog!

Scent training is an exciting and fun new sport created to encourage and develop your dog’s natural scenting abilities. In scent training or nose work, you use your dog’s desire to hunt, combined with his love of toys, food and exercise. Scent Training works for all dogs…as long as they have a nose. And, it’s fun for the dog since they are using their natural talent of smelling. With just a small amount of training and encouragement, your dog will be searching and finding scents quickly.
