How is RALLY TEAM Different?

Rally TEAM is designed to systematically introduce behaviors needed for rally, starting with easier ones and quickly building to more complex behavior chains found in higher levels of rally competition. The individual behaviors are tested in each level with the option to build chains right away in Level 1 Plus. TEAM emphasizes that the dog-handler team demonstrates training excellence in multiple skills important for competition.
By gradually adding distractions, changing locations and removing reinforcement opportunities, the team can complete tests and earn titles in a way that encourages excellent training in a systematic fashion.

Video titling allows you to review your submissions before paying for a run — so be sure to watch your own video and carefully review it against the rules!

Submissions are reviewed and scored by an anonymous judge who will provide feedback on your submission as well as determine whether the video is a “pass” or a “not yet.”
