Rally Classes
Rally classes are now in there third week. Most participants have never participated in rally previously but already there have been marked improvements by all. Instructor, Bea Moore (www.k- 9rally.com) takes the time to explain all the signs, gives tips and gives each team individual attention as they work the course. Although we could use a larger indoor area, each week new signs are incorporated into her course so that by the final class all the rally signs will have been covered. Bea included for each participant, a nice bound rally booklet with a complete explanation for all the signs, course maps for each week plus fun rally puzzles, pens and lapel pins. The class was given information for upcoming matches and an AKC obedience and rally rules and regulation booklet. Everyone seems to be enjoying the class. Joining our Airedales is Anna Ramirez with her German Sheppard. Kudos to Jan and Chuck Hustedt for bringing the Oreo cookies for the class!
