Introduction to Rally
Rally is fun – no matter what experience level you or your dog have, it’s easy to get involved!
Rally (or ‘Rally O’ as it’s known in the USA) is a canine activity derived from the heelwork elements of competitive obedience. However it differs from obedience, primarily in that competitors and dogs attempt a preset course with signs placed at up to 18 stations along the course, requiring them to perform one of around 80 different preset exercises. Suitable for dogs 6 months and over.
Movement Puzzles
Canine movement puzzles are pattern movement exercises where dogs move between two bowls and independently complete various coordination-focused tasks, without handler cues, to enhance body awareness, confidence, and stress resilience. These are a huge amount of fun for every dog and owner!
Benefits:
Improved body awareness and coordination
Increased confidence and self-esteem
Enhanced stress resilience and emotional regulation
Fun and engaging training experience
Potential for improved behavior and training progress
Guest Trainer Workshops
We’re planning on offering more workshops with our amazing guest trainers in 2026!
Scentwork Course
Dogs have a highly sensitive nose, vastly superior to our own. Scentwork is a natural behaviour for a dog and essential in hunting and finding prey. As man’s best friend, this behaviour has been put to many uses – for example in police work, search and rescue, and now as an up and coming dog sport. As a dog sport, scentwork has emerged from detection style nose work as practised by customs and excise, explosives detection, search and rescue and medical detection dogs.
Next course coming in 2026!
