🐾 TLC Dog Training Invites You to Rally! 🐾

Curious about Rally? Let’s break it down!

Rally is an exciting and dynamic sport where you and your dog navigate a course made up of 10-20 signs, each displaying a different skill or behavior to perform. Whether it’s making sharp turns, sitting, lying down, or staying, you and your dog work as a team, moving through the course with enthusiasm and precision.

The best part? Rally is all about building a strong bond and having fun together! It’s the perfect way to challenge your dog’s mind, strengthen your teamwork, and enjoy a rewarding experience in the process.

Our next Intro to Rally class is this Saturday. New students are welcome!

Make your plans for our NEXT Saturday in Sayner NEXT Saturday!
TLC Dog Training offers classes once per month in Sayner.
In August, we will meet on Saturday the 17th:
This is a super fun line-up of classes and you are welcome to join in any time.
Classes meet indoors at the Plum Lake Event & Equestrian Center so weather does not interfere with our fun.

Learn a new sport: Canine Agility.
All dogs enjoy the encouragement they receive from participating in the canine agility course. This is a fun way to strengthen your communication skills and the bond with your dog. You and your pup will learn the equipment and how to navigate each piece with verbal and body language cues. Loads of fun - this class meets once a month.

Rally - a.k.a. Rally Obedience or Rally O
This is a super fun class too! During a Rally class you and your dog will move through a course that is somewhat like an obstacle course. This course will have 5 to15 signs asking you and your four-pawed friend to perform obedience skills. This is a fun way to practice and develop the dog training skills you want for the course of life with your dog.

Canine Social Hour
Because your dog is a social creature this is an opportunity for your pal to enjoy time with her kind. Carol will narrate the animal behavior that is being displayed to help you understand dog personalities and their communication between other dogs. This is a fun and fascinating class.
