I signed Larsen up for Rally. He's now entering into Rally Excellent. The requirements include a bit more polish and also some advanced things like a moving halt. A moving halt begins with the dog walking at heel. You command "halt" while you maintain your pace. The dog stops and you keep walking.
Another more advanced item, which is a bit gimmacky, is walking backwards. I will teach that to Larsen since that is part of the requirements, but it is not high on our obedience list.
The main purpose for the additional rally classes is simply to keep the discipline of our training going during the hot summer months.
