Rally Obedience with Paws in Progress
Looking to strengthen your communication and teamwork with your dog? Rally Obedience is a great next step for dogs who already know the basics and want to have fun learning precision, focus, and connection.
In Rally, you and your dog move together through a course of obedience-style signs—think of it like a mix between agility and obedience, but with more talking, encouragement, and tail wags along the way.
Rally helps dogs:
● Improve focus and leash skills in a structured setting
● Learn advanced obedience behaviors in a fun, non-competitive way
● Build a stronger relationship with their handler through clear communication
● Work around other dogs in a calm, predictable environment
📅 Classes are held Monday evenings at 5 PM

Conformation Handling with Potrero K9 Performance Dogs
Ever wondered how dogs become show champions? Conformation classes are where it all begins. These classes teach you how to present your dog in the breed ring—focusing on movement, stacking, and handling skills that highlight your dog’s structure and breed standards.
But it’s not just about ribbons. Conformation training is also a fantastic way to build confidence, improve focus, and strengthen your communication with your dog in a fast-paced, high-distraction setting.
In this class, you and your dog will learn:
● How to stack (stand in the correct position for judging)
● How to gait your dog with control and show-worthy movement
● What to expect in a dog show ring and how to prepare
● How to handle touch and examination by a judge (especially for young or shy dogs)
● Proper use of show leads, patterns, and ring etiquette
📍 Classes are taught by the expert team at Potrero K9 Performance Dogs, known for their deep experience in AKC and UKC conformation, junior handling, and competitive show dog development.
🏅 Whether you’re preparing for your first show or want to brush up before a big event, Potrero provides professional coaching in a welcoming, supportive environment.
