What is APDT RALLY OBEDIENCE
I would describe it as a lighter competitive obedience option. A great program for the family pet, future Therapy dog or Canine Good Citizen test training.

Dog and Handler teams navigate a course with numbered signs indicating different exercises to perform such as Sit-Down-Sit, Straight Figure 8, Send Over Jump, Recall Over Jump. Teams navigate the course at a brisk, continuous performance without direction from the judge. Handlers are encouraged to talk to their dogs during the performance. The standards like heal position are a bit more relaxed than traditional obedience ring. The novice level is performed all on a loose leash. All dogs, purebred, mixed breeds and dogs with disabilities are encouraged to participate. Trials typically include Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 courses. A team earns a Rally title after successfully completing three course runs with qualifying scores in any level. Teams may also earn Championship titles, National Ranking Awards and a special Award of Excellence.

AKC RALLY OBEDIENCE
APDT Rally Obedience is a bit different from AKC Rally. AKC Rally is only open to pure bred AKC registered dogs. APDT allows food rewards while AKC does not. APDT does not allow second commands but AKC does. The exercises are also a bit different. There is a lot of similarity too and cross over training and competing a reasonable plan.
