WCRL Flash Rally program is ready for live events.
WCRL is pleased to announce the launch of final regulations for the new FLASH rally program, which may begin to be offered at live events in November. Titles to be awarded include the Flash Levels 1, 2, and 3 titles, as well as related Championship titles and beyond. Additional titles and rankings will be introduced for 2023.
Perhaps the most distinguishing feature of the program is motion. The program has been designed to feature continual motion by either handler, dog, or both. Courses are intended to reinforce continuity and vitality in the relationship between dog and handler.
The FLASH program has been tested through the USDAA@Home! program, so a number of refinements have already been made. Check out some of the performances by visiting PAST EVENTS on usdaa.com.
Full rules and regulations, exercise signs, and exercise descriptions can all be found under Rules & Regulations page on rallydogs.com.

For groups who wish to add to their upcoming events, we have set a November 1 start date, but earlier inclusion in existing events may be possible under certain circumstances.
Event forms are in the process of being updated to include the FLASH classes and will be emailed to all WCRL groups in early October. Earlier adoption may be possible given specific circumstances.
We would like to thank Jane Clark, Gail Vendetti, Taylor Brookes, and others who have contributed to development of this program.
