Rally Obedience
Cowichan Canine offers rally classes for everyone, from beginner to advanced level. Classes can be arranged privately (one student only) for 30 minutes in length or in class format, when we have several dogs interested.
Rally is all about Fun and Heeling. You can enjoy this sport simply because you wish to teach your dog to walk nicely and reliably at heel while having fun, or because you wish to compete and earn titles. Any dog, purebred or mixed breed, can compete both in CARO trials (Canadian Association of Rally Obedience) and CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) trials. Both organizations offer trials on Vancouver Island.
Here is a video of what a Rally course may look like in an official trial, made by our friend Donna Hill in Nanaimo.
Pre-Requisites
1. Parvo/distemper vaccination certificate no older than 3 years, or parvo/distemper titer certificate no older than 1 year.
2. Dog is over 8 weeks old and not reactive to other dogs or people.
3. Students must have graduated from our Pet Manners or Foundation course, or complete a 30 minute challenge assessment to make sure they have the basic skills to benefit from this class.

I found COWICHAN CANINE by accident. It was the best accident I ever had. CC above all has made me a better and more aware pet owner. They have opened my eyes farther than I thought I could see. I am grateful for my new knowledge and grateful That my puppy/dog will have the best education to guide him through his life happily. Thank you Lisbeth Jody Glenda Stephanie and especially Nancy for immediately catching my errors.

Chewie and I just finished the Foundation Programme, with distinction, in 7 weeks. We would not have been able to accomplish this if it wasn't for the team of ladies at Cowichan Canine.
Chewie is James and my first puppy, and we were pretty clueless. Thanks to the guidance of Bev, Karen and Lisbeth we are proud of our dog, but also of the "puppy parents" we have become.
We hope to continue our education at Cowichan Canine, and we recommend the training facility to anyone who owns a dog.
And it all started with the Puppy Socialization class!
Thank you so much!
