Rally Obedience is a relatively new dog sport involving obedience commands. Much like agility, the dog and handler negotiate a course of 15-20 obedience stations within an allotted time. Stations consist of behaviours such as "sit-down-sit" or "call front, finish right" etc. Depending on the organization you are competing in, handlers can praise, double command and reward the dog while on course. Rally Obedience allows both purebreed and mixed breeds in competition.
