    Rally Non-regular classes - anyone done them yet? (miranadobe)

    I'm wondering if anyone on the forum has competed in any of the Rally Non-Regular classes -

    Rally Pairs, Rally T Challenge, Rally T Challenge Team, or Rally Plus?  If you haven't competed, has your club sponsored the classes at your trials?  Have you seen any of these classes at any trials you've attended (as a spectator or competitor)?

     I want to do pairs SO BAD but, Emma is a jealous beast, and a resource guarder. It's just not worth it. I've seen it, at one trial we go to, and it's so much fun, to see the dogs working side by side. They all seem to really enjoy it. If Jewel decides that she likes obedience, I may do rally pairs with her and Bean. I haven't seen any of the other non regulars.

    If I was back in NH, I'd be trying to get my crew together to do a team event.  But even when I search events around the country, I rarely see any Rally non-regular classes offered.  I wonder why clubs aren't sponsoring the event....

     I would LOVE to do Rally Pairs with Honor and Eli, except AKC's the only one really offering it, and they don't recognize AKK.  I looked into the T challenge, because I thought Nike might enjoy it.  I'd like to try him at it sometime.

     I would LOVE to do a team event, but never see any offered. I could throw together a team, fairly easily, with training buddies.

    I haven't seen the classes offered at trials here yet.

    We've been to fun matches that have offered them though. We had a blast in the pairs class. Shooter & Bev are not, size-wise, the optimal pair, but they did really well together.

    I really like the Rally Plus class. I think that it will be a perfect class for a dog who will soon be moving into novice obedience classes.

    I'm not a team person.  If someone else had a bad run, & it ended up costing our team the win, I know that I'd be mad.  Because of that, I wouldn't participate in the team event.
