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.

Hi there, Ed and I are doing pretty good. The vet is tackling his some health issues and Ed seems to be much happier overall with summer being here. He's even willing to roll on his back and let me rub his tummy now which I think is a good sign of our improved relationship.
Anyone I talk to about Ed gets a big recommendation from me regarding Cowichan Canine. I sing your praises every chance I get since I know that I would be in a pretty bad situation without your help every step of Ed's development. Thanks so much for all the education that I needed and all of the fun times as well

Our little Frenchton, Blaze, graduated from the Foundations class today with Honours. The training we received was top notch, excellent quality, and fun. We appreciated the often humorous comments thrown into our training from Karen and Stephanie, as well as the clear, easy to understand aspects of this training program. We have already introduced Blaze to Scent Detection and Agility and will continue on with these in the fall. We truly appreciate the care and commitment our instructors gave in the training of our Blaze, and of ourselves! Who knew we had so much to learn, too! :) Thank you, Karen and Stephanie! We will definitely be referring others to Cowichan Canine.
