Summary: Dog shows are many and varied. From Shutzhund to Rally O, dog shows test the breed's ability to perform and look the way it was bred to. Rally O, or Rally Obedience shows allow the competitors to follow signs with the dog in heel position rather than taking orders from the judge. Contrary to other dog shows, competitors in Rally O are allowed to encourage their dogs during the competition. If you would like to begin training your dog for Rally Obedience shows, or would just like to know more about these competitions, you can learn online for free from our expert dog trainer.
