Rally Training

What is Rally Training?

Rally training for dogs is a fun, team-based dog sport where handlers and their dogs navigate a course marked by numbered signs, each directing them to perform specific obedience signs like sits, downs and heeling at their own brisk pace.  Handlers are enccouraged to use verbal cues, hand signals, and praise to guide their dogs, fostering strong teamwork.  It serves as an excellent introduction to canine sports for all ages and skill levels, building focus, confidence and physical fitness.  

Instructor Lisa Potts

Lisa lives in Springfield, IL.  She is a 24 year veteran in Rally  and started the first Rally Obedience Program in the Chicago area in 2002.  Additionally, Lisa has earned Rally Champion Titles through three organizations and is a repeat exhibitor at Rally National events.  She will be helping novice teams get started and can also help higher level teams with trouble shooting challenges they are encountering.
