Description

In this course you will learn how to correctly perform all the exercises in the AKC Rally Master class. You will also learn how to teach these exercises to your dog.

Each exercise is demonstrated on video, usually from four different angles. Each video demo is followed by a discussion video. The discussion video is an analysis of the exercise and covers such topics as principal parts, orientation, teaching the new skills to your dog, footwork, cueing, and practice tips. Some exercises have separate training videos following the discussion video. Written materials are included to enhance the learning experience.

Questions are always welcome. If you would like to include a link to a video of you and your dog, I am happy to comment or help you troubleshoot any issues you may be having.

My goal is for you to have a fun and rewarding learning experience. I want your team to have a thorough understanding of the Master exercises and to be able to perform them skillfully while working towards your RM and RACH titles.
