Therefore, we will be enforcing class size limits. Obedience, Puppy, Good Dog, and Nosework classes will have a maximum of 8 dogs per class. Agility and Rally classes will be limited to 6 dogs per class. Classes will only proceed if they have at least 3 dogs enrolled.

Thursday will include a picnic and hike
Daily activities will includ but are not limited to: Obedience, Agility, Tricks, Crafts
Cost is $150 for first child. $100 for each additional child from the same family
Rally – Novice and Intermediate clinic will be held for two hours. This clinic will include and explanation of the sport of Rally including the cards for both Novice and Intermediate levels. There will also be explanations on how and where to earn a Rally title.
What is Rally?
Rally is an exciting and engaging dog sport that promotes teamwork and strengthens the bond between you and your furry companion. Rally classes are a great way for dogs to learn new skills and improve their obedience, while also giving owners a chance to develop better communication and understanding with their pets. Our rally classes will teach you and your dog how to navigate a predetermined course while performing a variety of obedience tasks, such as heel, sit, down, stay, slow, and fast. With a focus on positive reinforcement and reward-based training, rally classes are both fun and effective, providing an excellent opportunity for you and your dog to socialize and have a great time while improving your skills.
What classes are offered?
Cramer Canine Consulting offers both Novice and Intermediate Rally classes. We have designed a six-week Novice Rally class that covers the basics of rally and how to perform the various exercises. After the successful completion of the first Novice Rally class, attendees can move on to the 6 week Novice Rally class with Virtual Titling, where they can further hone their skills, and get ready for virtual titling. Those interested in Intermediate Rally classes can follow the same path, with 6 weeks of learning intermediate cards and another 6 weeks of training for Virtual Titling.
What is Virtual Titling?
Rally Virtual Titling is a new way to get your Novice and Intermediate Rally titles from AKC. Your dog must be registered with the AKC to earn a rally title, either with full AKC registration, ILP, PAL, or AKC Canine Partners registration.
With Virtual Titling, you choose a course to run from 5 AKC approved courses. The run is recorded and sent to AKC for judging.
Scoring in rally begins with a perfect score of 100 with points deducted along the way. You must receive a score of 70 or better to qualify. To earn a title you must earn a qualifying score on three separate approved courses.
How do I start?
We are excited to announce that we will be offering a Novice Rally Class and Intermediate Rally Class in our next session. The Novice Rally Class is for new handlers. The Intermediate Rally Class is for those who have already completed a Novice Class or have a Novice Rally Title.
You can sign up for rally classes now on our classes page. We are offering a Novice Rally class at 5:00pm on Wednesdays starting on April 23rd. This class is for those who have little or no experience with rally. We are also offering an Intermediate Rally Class on Wednesdays at 6:00pm starting April 23rd.
More Information About Rally?
Whether you are a first time dog owner, or a long time pack leader, we have classes that will suit your needs.
Our Monday Night Advanced Working dog class stepped up their game last night by practicing a Pressure Ring.
During a pressure ring exercise, one dog is placed in a down stay in the center of the space. The rest of the class stands in a circle facing the center dog. When the trainer calls "forward", each dog/handler in the outer ring heals towards the center dog. The goal is to get as close to the center dog as possible without touching. Once the moving pairs reach the center dog, they turn around and head back to their starting position.
This exercise teaches the dog to focus on the handler rather than the distraction(s). It also desensitizes dogs to being surrounded or approached by other dogs while remaining in a controlled state.
We practice several different versions of this exercise to build to the level this group of dogs and handlers were able to accomplish last night.
Congrats to everyone and keep training! ... See MoreSee Less

I never got a call back for therapy classes? Did you decide not to do them anymore?
Can Violet have a beyond basics spot? I would prefer Tuesday but let me know where you have space
Still a pretty busy time of year with Easter and Special Sundays and Confirmation to get ready. HOWEVER, I think we'd be ready for an agility class if you're having any appropriate one on Friday morning. Im not sure what your schedule will be next time. Please keep us in mind. Thanks
Lori Schmid I finally signed Rylee up for agility. Can you take her to class on 5/21/26 while I'm in Switzerland for INDEX?
