AKC Rally Virtual Trials
AKC Rally Virtual Trials are a great way to earn your Rally titles in a quiet, private setting. This is perfect for people who:
-
have a dog who is reactive or easily distracted
-
are anxious about crowds or about performing in front of them
-
would rather know the course that is going to be offered
-
are busy and need Rally Trials to fit their schedule
The AKC has 5 approved Rally courses for Novice, Intermediate, Advanced and Excellent. You can find them here. You should also read the AKC Rally® Virtual Program Guidebook for everything you need to know.
From time to time, Supporting Paws will host a Virtual Rally trial for certain levels, offering certain courses. These are nice because they give you a deadline to work towards. You will be the only competitor in the barn; Ruth Anne and Norina will be there to answer questions and film your performance. Our next Rally Virtual Trial is Sunday, September 10, 2023. You can sign up here; the entry is $10 for 30 minutes and you can pay at the door.
If that time does not work for you, Ruth Anne is happy set up a course at a time that fits your schedule. For more details, contact her (text is best!) at 717-585-7478. You can send payment to Norina via PayPal at norinafoster@comcast.net.
