Obedience, Rally, and Agility


  • Hi, all. I'm new here, so I don't know who all might be listening. My dogs and I participate in Obedience, Rally, and Agility. Chaco has his CD and RN. I'm just starting him on Agility. Sable is now enrolled in beginning Obedience. I'm glad to listen to anyone who has ideas on training in these areas. TTYL

  • I started competing in rally last year. My boy, Nicky, earned his RN in April. My girls are still not quite ready. We are working on attention when we are out in new places. They know all the commands but when we get out to a trial they become very distracted.

    I have started Agility training with my girls this Spring. Both of them really love it. They each are very different in their attitudes and training challenges. Rally, my 5 year old, has no fear and does everything with plenty of speed but sometimes gets so excited she forgets she is part of team and starts to do her own thing. Rio, 19 months old, is more cautious. She is great on her contacts but needs to work on her speed. My mom has just started Rio's brother in Agility two weeks ago and says he is just like Rally, very eager to do everything, sometimes twice.

  • Hey girls….I have been working with Blondie on her basics, but I need just a simple list of the exercises that we would encounter in Rally....any ideas about where I could find that? Thanks :)


  • The AKC website has a list of the signs and their descriptions, http://www.akc.org/pdfs/rulebooks/ROR999.pdf

    At the Novice level it is sit, down, call front, finish left, finish right, and lots of heeling.

  • Thanks, Lisa :)

    Hey, excellent! I just checked to see if it was up a few days ago and it wasn't, so this is breaking news. I hope everyone enjoys and learns from it. It's geared for people who have never done agility before, so do feel like it will be over you head or too indepth.

    You might want to look into the Jumping Chollas Agility Club; they are a nice group of people, and use overall good training methods for basenjis. I can't think of anyone off hand training their basenji for agility in Phoenix, but a couple of us from Tucson show up and run our dogs at the JCAC trials. The Phoenix Field and Obedience Club does a great job putting on obedience trials, and they do offer training classes. I can't verify the training methods used, so you would have to check and see if they are agreeable to you and how you want to acheive your goals with your basenji. There are a lot of nice people in that club as well, so just getting to know some of them can lead you to training classes or instructors with whom you should be comfortable. Again, I don't know of anyone in Phoenix actively showing basenjis in obedience right now, but we Tucsonans show up and show off our kids in Rally and regular Obedience. Good luck with your furkid!

    oh that was just painful to watch (at least my runs!). it's a shame the camera person focused on me instead of getting Zest running into the fence. On the upside, gosh the equipment looks nice! results are posted here: http://www.lookoutgoldens.com/BCOA%202010.htm

    @snorky998: Congratulations!! Has Tillo been showing lately? How long before Lycia goes home? I'm sure Tillo's going to miss her. Thanks you all for the congrats :) Tillo hasn't been shown lately, he just turned 27 months so he can now win his last CAC for his Dutch Championship.. His first big show is at the end of June :) Lycia will leave the second or third week of April. Tillo will probably miss her very much and hate me for it :(
