Front & Finish® Rally Title Directory
Rally was designed as a stepping stone to obedience competition, but it has largely become a stand-alone event. In rally, a dog and handler complete an obedience-related course determined by a rally judge. Each station has a sign indicating a skill to be performed. Although rally is a timed event, handlers may move through a rally course at their own pace. Scoring is not as rigorous as it is in traditional obedience. Unlimited communication from handler to dog is encouraged and is not penalized.
