Rally Obedience is a great new event that the AKC started in January 2005.
It is considered the "Informal" Obedience.
The dog is judged on their performace with the handler but the dog does not need to be
a "little robot" or a "mind reader" to qualify or earn a perfect score.
A dog must earn at least 70 points to qualify. A perfect score is 100 points.
Everyone had nearly PERFECT scores! |

Maggie earned her Canadian Novice Agility Title (AG.N) with 85 points and 2nd place.
Then had three wonderful runs at the Intermediate Level... 100-points (perfect score)
