I had a competitor who came up to me. She tried as best as she could to get her dog to work in the ring. She came up and asked me "I'm working on advance rally and the last time I went to a show my dog was kind of out of control." Her face red. "do you know how I could fix this?" I reflected on how this was a common issue. Rally advance is a big step and as a judge I've been asked quite a few questions and as a trainer I've been asked plenty more. I've watched plenty of people go through Rally and struggle. Some of the most common problems I see are people have a perception that it is easy and by doing that they do not train or properly prepare. This leads to tight leashes, penalties and lack of discipline in the dog. Like out of control dogs when off leash and dogs reluctant to take the jumps. This is embarrassing for everyone, as a judge I want to see every dog do great but in reality that is not the case. Check out the Rally DVD training set here I thought "you know I want a dvd set that could provide me a comprehensive and explained product of all of the signs. How to actually train on these signs and how to make sure that I can transition from rally to other obedience classes." I wanted to recommend a dvd product that could really help people and I couldn't find one. I was disappointed but then figured I could make one. I mean I've been an active promoter of rally since the early days (2000), I've conducted many seminars discussing obedience, rally, how to train rally, AKC rules and regulations, ring procedures for judges and explaining rally signs. I'm not just a judge and trainer, I'm the "go to" person for many judges. That's what sparked this project. I am offering a Rally DVD Set that holds my standards and exceeds everything else out there. For starters I'm offering an initial pre-order. The first 100 people will receive an early edition. This edition has 3 DVD's and has over 3 hours of filming. You will get an amazing opportunity to ask me questions after you watch the DVD's. By being part of the early bird group you'll get to have your questions answered and I'll actually re-film and put it into the final DVD edition. Lastly, when the DVD set is ready for full launch. You'll receive the final product so that you aren't left with just an early bird edition. This DVD set has all the new signs from start to finish.
