Doodle by Design includes 730 pages in a comprehensive discussion of
Rally Obedience, including traininIng, preparation, and competition.
This book will be the most important reference you will ever own for
the sport.
Doodle by Design has been rewritten to bring
everything in the original edition up to date with the Jan 1, 2008 AKC
Rally rules, including identification of the principal part of each
exercise. Every exercise sign is discussed in detail with not only the
AKC sign and description of how it is to be performed but information
on the perfect performance, how to train and what judges look for.
Index sized cards have both the sign and description on one side - easy
to print out to have on hand for studying. Full size signs for every
exercise, including the seven new Non-Regular exercises, can be printed
individually or as a complete set. Just in case you don't have the AKC
regulations, they are included.
Doodle has been written
especially for people who must train alone. It gives step by step
instructions for training your dog to do everything from the very
basics through the Rally Excellent exercises. There are over 700 full
color photos illustrating details of training. Want to enter your
first trial? An interactive test lets you see if you're really ready.
This book will lead you by the hand through the AKC website to find a
trial, check on the judges, write for a premium, enter with an
interactive generic entry form in the book, get to the trial, and find
your results posted at the AKC site. Practice for the trial by using
one of the many AKC legal courses. Hyperlinks send you to referenced
sites and YouTube videos teaching and demonstrating Rally.
