CH Madkap Kismet MLD RN and Orchardwood Paldachs Quip RN in Rally Obedience. Rally Obedience, unlike traditional Obedience, is done in a ring set up with numbered stations. Each station has instructions which the team must follow, e.g. sit, fast pace, 270 degree turn, weave through cones. Novice dogs are shown on lead and the handler may talk to the dog, pat his/her leg, clap and guide with the hands, but the dog must work on a loose leash. Rally Obedience is designed as an introduction to performance competition and is especially friendly to those who have never shown a dog before.
