AKC Obedience & Rally Trials
OTC's annual February obedience weekend — four obedience rings and one rally ring, with teams entering from across the country.
OTC has hosted AKC-sanctioned Obedience and Rally trials in February since 1973. Teams of one handler and one dog work basic through advanced exercises across four obedience rings and one rally ring.
Handlers travel from across the country to enter, with many different breeds represented over the weekend.
Spectator information
- Admission is free and families are welcome.
- Please leave unentered dogs and pets at home.
- Photographs are welcome, but no flash photography — it distracts the working team and affects their score.
