Answers:
Rally is a lot of fun for people of all ages and dogs of all breeds. Rally is like an obstacle course with obedience. You must get your dog to go through a series of activities such as walk around in a circle, jog in a zig zag or lie down then sit up then heel again. The great thing about rally is you can talk to the dog the entire time to help him comlete the tasks in the quickest amount of time. You can talk to him, sing, clap whistle or whatever to get your dog to do the commands. In rally you start off in novice classes onleash then you move up to advance which is offleash and finally excellent which is offleash but focuses on precsion. First you will need to get your dog an ILP number this is the same as an AKC registration and allows you to compete in any event except conformation, but you can still do junior handling. I will include a link to apply for the ILP. After you do that you will need to get a Junior Handler number. This number allows you to participate in any AKC event including rally. You can even earn a title in rally as a junior. Here is a link on how to get started in rally and some background info on it

Thats really cool that you are interested in the dog fancy, it is so nice to see younger members out in the show ring competing in dog events. I started out in Juniors and did obedience, Junior Showmanship, Conformation and Tracking, I just recently started doing rally after I aged out of Juniors.
dont know what that is
Per the AKC website:
"AKC Rally is the new dog sport that is taking the nation by storm, a successful stepping stone from the AKC Canine Good Citizenåº program to the world of obedience or agility. Rally offers both the dogs and handlers an experience that is fun and energizing. The canine team moves at their own pace, very similar to rally-style auto racing. Rally was designed with the traditional pet owner in mind, but it can still be very challenging for those who enjoy higher levels of competition.
Here are three links that may give you the info you need. If you're in Canada you are golden any dog can participate according to their website. http://www.canadianrallyo.ca/
Good luck!!
