Over 10 years ago, the dog sports world was hungry for an new activity that would promote teamwork and fun while demonstrating training and performance. Enter Rally Obedience! Created by Charles "Bud" Kramer, rally obedience combined all the obedience practice "doodling" exercises, emphasized teamwork and has since turned into a fun sport. Today, there are several venues of rally that many exhibitors enjoy: AKC, APDT, CARO, C-WAGS, UKC and Wag It Games. Well, we think the time has come for Rally Obedience to finally get the respect and attention it deserves as a bonafide, legitimate competitive dog sport!
