Rally

Rally & any other outdoor activity
is better together with your yorkie companion!

Rally (formerly known as Rally O)

Whether you’re young or old, fit or not so fit , Rally Obedience is the
ideal sport that is fun for both handler and dog.

Dogs of all ages enjoy Rally, and it is less strenuous than other dog
sports as there is no running involved.

What is also special about Rally is that the handler has the opportunity to talk,
pat and praise their little furbabies as they follow the numbered signs,
and carry out the various exercises depicted on these signs.

Rally became an official dog competition sport in Australia in January 2012, and is gaining in popularity.
It is also
the fastest growing dog sport in America and Canada.

At Novice level, dogs negotiate a course having between 10 and 15 signs (not including the start and finish)
and work on lead during the trial. There is a total of 50 signs gradually increasing in complexity. The higher
levels of Rally use up to 20 signs including many of the more complex ones and complete the courses off-lead.

This can be challenging as you won’t get the same course twice, but both you and your dog will enjoy
learning new skills, and you can have a laugh along the way, especially when the execution of the
exercise does not turn out the way it should.

You can easily set up a course in your own backyard or check local obedience clubs that have
Rally O instruction.

We are grateful to our wonderful puppy people; they are the greatest exponents and ambassadors for the yorkie breed; they
present their 'babies' beautifully and take
them out to out where the people are,
they enjoy their dogs and the companionship they bring... walking, the beach, parks,
and just generally make them visible to the public and proudly 'sell' their virtues
to anybody who asks about them. Many people do not know what a yorkie is,
often confusing them for the 'Sydney Silky', the former name for the Australian Silky Terrier.
Pet people are vital to the continued existence of the showdog, to purebred dogs
in general, instead of the current trendy fad of so-called 'designer dogs' which are
beset with so many health problems.
