 Rally is a fun team sport that can be enjoyed by everyone in the family.  You and your dog learn to navigate a course through 10-20 different signs. Each of the signs tells you the next skill to perform. The dog and handler move continuously throughout the course with the dog at the handler’s left side. Although each performance is timed, having a good race time is not the goal; it’s all about working as a team while performing the skills, with the dog under control. 

PREREQUISITE:  Dogs should know basic commands - sit, down and walk on a leash.  

Versa Dog Playschool is a traditional dog daycare with the added value of mini training sessions and structure throughout the day, It integrates social and play time, rest time, and training refreshers. 

Training includes: 

• manners – reduce or eliminate jumping, mouthing, or pulling on the leash 
• recall improvement – come to hand every time they are called 
• leave it – what ever it is, your dog will learn to “leave it”
• stay – up to 1 minute with distractions 
• lie down 

Training is tailored to your pooches’ needs and development. Each day your dog will receive a report card noting which skills they worked on and how they did. 

Obedience training is the key to ensure your dog is a good citizen in the world of dogs and humans. But wouldn't it be fun if your dog not only knew how to behave, but also how to entertain?!!
