Hey, who asked me about Rally Obedience? I am so sorry but I forgot which thread the question came up on, and I don't mean to ignore anyone who wants to know more!
Yes, I've done Rally Obedience with my Cairn terriers. It is loads of fun and much more relaxed than traditional obedience. Here in the US, there are several organizations that offer it, each with their own titling systems. I primarily show American Kennel Club Rally, but other organizations include the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (which really picked it up and ran with it early on here in the US, but their program is in flux right now, but still a good venue), the United Kennel Club, and others.
Solid sits, downs, and heelwork on the dog's part, and learning the requirements/performance of the exercises on the handler's, and you're pretty much good to go for the novice levels!

Hi - it was me asking - I'd never thought of your name meaning that before, I thought it meant you did a lot of car rally driving round rocks!! ;D Rally obedience seems to be just starting off over here and it would be nice to have a go at it before it turns into an all collies discipline!! My older boy is retired from agility due to injury, but does have a pretty high standard of training - and the young one is not from a breed renowned for their obedience - but it might be fun to have a go. Where's the best place to go for info??

I've just started this with mine - learning the signs is harder than training the dogs! ;D
