AKC obedience and rally events celebrate the bond between handlers and their dogs through teamwork and training. In obedience competitions, dogs perform tasks like heeling, staying, and retrieving, showcasing discipline and responsiveness.
Rally offers a more relaxed atmosphere where teams follow a course with signs, fostering interaction between handler and dog. Both activities encourage good behavior and training, suitable for dogs of all breeds and skill levels.
NWAKC is thrilled to announce our obedience and rally trials for 2025! Join us for a rally trial on Friday, February 21, followed by obedience trials on February 22 and 23, with one trial each day. These events are perfect for showcasing your training and teamwork. We look forward to seeing you there!
