Since she began competing, Maya has earned six Obedience titles and five Rally titles. In some ways, these sports are similar, but in other ways, they're unique! My hope is this video helps newcomers to the canine competition world understand the two sports and inspires them to get involved in one or the other... or both!

About Maya: A nine year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Maya loves carrots, broccoli, pasta, and hot dogs the most. She’s also particularly enjoys the beach (but not swimming), playing tug of war, learning new things, competing in Obedience and Rally, and taking up the entire bed at night.
About Kayla: I began training dogs in 2008, starting with raising puppies to be future service dogs and fell in love with the human-canine connection. Over the last several years, I’m thankful to have had the chance to help train service dogs, therapy dogs, compete in Obedience and Rally, and introduce people to the dog sports I love.

I am new to dog sports, just wanted to do something fun with my dog and I had NO idea how complicated it all is. Thank you for such a clear explanation.

I was blown away to hear how rally started! I am competing with my Bichon frise. I'm sure people look at her and wonder what I'm doing there. She is loving RallyO as I am, we have just got Novice licked and cgcg. Why do people think little dogs can't make it? Any way I loved your video, keep them coming.

Our 71/2 # maltepoo is in her first class of intro to sports. She is doing great so size doesn’t always matter 😉

Don't forget about famous obedience trainer Blanche Saunders! (She's the one pictured in those black and white pics and worked with Walker)

Great video. Rally sounds like the better option for me and my pup. Mines need constant reassurance when off leash and it seems way more fun.

Love the video, but wanted to clarify some of the things😊 - in Rally, you can get points off if you have to ask your dog to sit or down, like 3 times - it's judges discretion. I've seen more than a few judges be very picky on that and take points off. Also Rally has about 130 signs - i think 127. Masters signs are in the 300 class, excellent in 200's, intermediate and Advanced are 100's - with the only difference in advanced is there's a jump. But, there aren't 100 signs per class. There are around 25 - 45 signs per class (counting intermediate and advanced as one class, just adding the jump). And the send to jump (#210) has to be completed on the first attempt AND the dog has to leave the handler *at the sign* to the jump. Otherwise it should be a full 10 points off - incorrectly performed exercise.

Love the video. I'm learning both obedience and rally, and rally is, by far, the most challenging and the most fun. For me, rally is a sport that steps up your communication skills that are so necessary to have a rewarding relationship with your best friend. Thank you for sharing!🐾💞 Cheryl and Chloe

Thanks for making this video. We're new to dog sports (although the PWC I'm working with is my 8th). We got the Rally Novice title through the virtual program a couple years ago and are now working on Rally Advanced. I've wondered what the differences are between Rally and Obedience and appreciated your sharing your take on this. It was also fun seeing your corgi(s) at work. Well done!

We started taking a class that was labeled "Intermediate Obedience/Beginner Rally". When we got to our first class it was clear that the class was really Rally only. And our instructor didn't follow her own outline for what we were supposed to learn. I bet we will be expected to have taught our dogs the things she missed (we had no class on Labor Day & 9-11). Luckily there are tons of videos online to help us figure it all out.

Both rally and obedience are a lot of fun! Hope you're enjoying it!

@jayz8102 11 ай бұрын

Send to jump has to be completed on the first attempt. You can not send your dog more than once to jump 210. If the dog stops forward motion then the team would receive an IP at that station. You can certainly repeat your command to go over the jump only if the dog does not stop and completes the jump on the first attempt. The first attempt rule applies to all jumps. Is this correct?

@jhargreaves5236 7 ай бұрын

Good job of explaining the differences. I do wonder how you came up with over 300 signs in Rally. They are numbered up into the 300's but not 1 - 300 inclusive. No matter, there are a LOT of signs to learn in Rally & it has way more variety - way more fun for the dogs. I've competed in both with several of my dogs but my Terriers clearly love the "voice of encouragement" as they are working!

Can the dogs walk on the right side? That is a physical need for me. Thanks Dr Buck Willis

I’ve been interested in trying either obidience or rally with my corgi mix, he’s super smart and does very well with training. My problem is I’m not sure where to start with training for obidience or rally as I don’t know much about the sports at all. Which would be better for a first timer? How do you practice and train for these trails ect. I would love some feedback on how to get started! Thanks!!

@shadowxheather 5 ай бұрын

I would love to know about obedience. I use different words for some of the commands (here for heel, wait for stay) is this acceptable or do I need to condition my dog with new words for commands??

@elizabethunger9190 3 ай бұрын

Instead of teaching stay it’s actually best to simply teach a dog to sit or down until released.

@1packatak 2 ай бұрын

@@elizabethunger9190agree. Sit is sit and down is down until I tell my dog to do something else. Then when you first start competing, you won’t accidentally give say a stay instead of wait😅😅
