Cowichan Canine offers rally classes for everyone, from beginner to advanced level. Classes can be arranged privately (one student only) for 30 minutes in length or in class format, when we have several dogs interested.

Rally is all about Fun and Heeling. You can enjoy this sport simply because you wish to teach your dog to walk nicely and reliably at heel while having fun, or because you wish to compete and earn titles. Any dog, purebred or mixed breed, can compete both in CARO trials (Canadian Association of Rally Obedience) and CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) trials. Both organizations offer trials on Vancouver Island.

Here is a video of what a Rally course may look like in an official trial, made by our friend Donna Hill in Nanaimo.
