• Rally
  Rally is a great way to work with your dog on obedience skills while keeping everything fun. With a loose leash, walk up to each sign and follow the arrows for each exercise; your dog will follow you anywhere for the rewards we’ll be using. Some of the signs are simple like ‘sit’ and then we’ll work on more difficult exercises like a 270 degree turn or side steps! It’s fun to watch your dog learn and have a great time following you around!
  Starts: 6:00 pm, Friday, August 24th ~ Course length: 6 weeks ~ Cost: $130 ~ Instructor: Becky Hutchins, CPDT-KA
