HOW RALLY DIFFERS FROM COMPETITION OBEDIENCE In competition obedience you are allowed to talk to your dog only between exercises. The patterns followed are very similar, if not identical, no matter which judge you show under. The judge follows at a very close distance and calls out instructions such as "right turn," "left turn," "about turn" and "halt." In AKC, ASCA (Australian Shepherd Club of America) and UKC (United Kennel Club)competition obedience (Novice), the heeling pattern is done on leash, then again off leash with a stand for exam in between (with direct contact between the judge and your dog). Once this is completed, there is an off leash recall. At the end are group stays with a one-minute sit stay in a group of approximately eleven other dogs and a three-minute down stay in that same group of dogs. Take a look at the chart below to see how competition obedience behaviors relate to Rally.
