Ringside Rally: AKC Edition
Let’s get you and your dog practicing!
Help topics
Getting Started
Brand new? Start here. A quick walkthrough of the four tabs, what you get for free, and honestly — what Pro adds (and whether you even need it yet).
The Signs Tab
Every AKC Rally sign, all levels, in one place. Search by name, browse by number, or just tap one to see the picture, the description, and a few handler hints that might save you some ring time.
Lists
Your Favorites list is just the beginning. Build one from a course map before a trial, group signs that work a specific skill, or — and this one’s my favorite — keep a completely separate list for each of your dogs.
Practice
This is where it all comes together. Two timers, voice callouts, shuffle mode, fixed vs. adaptive timing — it sounds like a lot, but I promise it clicks fast. Here’s how to set it up so your sessions actually feel productive.
The Field Guide
AKC Rally rules, sign criteria, and terminology — all searchable, all in your pocket. Genuinely useful at ringside when you’ve got five minutes before your run and a brain full of adrenaline.
Tips
Less “here are the settings” and more “here’s how to actually train with this.” How to structure a practice week, what to drill before a trial, and a set of suggested starting configurations — timing, callouts, shuffle — you can tweak from there.
Troubleshooting
Signs flying by too fast. Can’t hear the callouts. Something’s greyed out and you’re not sure why. Quick answers — no digging through menus required.
Account & Subscription
Everything under the avatar: your plan, managing or cancelling Pro, restoring a past purchase, how refunds work, and who handles payments. The practical stuff for when the money side comes up.
