I love working rally.
This is a great sport that allows dogs and handlers to execute a variety of exercises from different dog sports, including obedience, scent detection, agility and more.
There are 10 exercises that start at the Rookie level and increase in difficulty.
Administered through CARO (Canadian Association of Rally Obedience) Trials and Titles can be achieved.

Dogs LOVE these games. I show you ways to engage your furry friend with items easily found around the house.
A great indoor activity to enrich your dogs free time. Great for days when you can’t get outside.
Nosework and scent detection means different things to different people. I will introduce the various scent work options available. You might decide this is something you and your dog love. You can move on to competition style nosework using essential oils or maybe explosives detection is more your thing. A fascinating sport.

Great for those who love the outdoors and exploring. One of the few canine sports suitable for younger dogs and nervous or aggressive dogs. Any dog can enjoy parkour - puppies, geriatric, disabled, unsocial etc.
Why use agility equipment when you can use a park bench, a log, a tree or a retaining wall to name a few.
There is a heavy emphasis on safety. You MUST have a canine body harness with a back attachment and a leash (4 foot is preferred.)
Aggressive and nervous dogs can do it because you can practice on your own and is non- competitive. It builds confidence in your dog by promoting decision making.It builds trust and is a great bonding activity.
Starts very easy and progresses to crazy difficult.
You can earn titles. They are recognized by the American Kennel Association.Click here to Learn about Canine Parkour
