Experience with FCI Rally Obedience
I have been competing in rally obedience at FCI level since 2023.

Maria Nowak & Enzo od Skučáku (Enzo)
Team
Experience with FCI Rally Obedience
We've been doing FCI-ROB for 2,5 years now. Before FCI we've competed in Rally obedience according to national rules for 1 year.
What I love most about FCI Rally Obedience
That fun and connection in the course. I love the variability in FCI rally. We are also doing other sports like dogdancing, agility or herding, but here I think there is the best way how to build perfect relationship with our dogs, because they have to trust us as much as they can. We have to be the best handler ever. The way of exercises is fun for me and for the dog also, because there are a lot of funny tricks for dog to do. It isn't just a walk straight.
Best Result achieved with my Dog
1st place on EUROPA OPEN 2026, Hungary (FCI-ROB)
Czech champion 2025 (Rally obedience)
Best Czech male bordercollie in rally obedience 2024, 2025
Champion of dogdancing. Qualifying in WC FCI ROB for the third time
Other Dog Sports I do
We are actively doing dogdancing and agility. In agility we love to compete because we love that drive and speed in this sport. For fun we are also doing herding. I love the sight of a border collie herding and doing what he was born to do.
Especially looking forward to
Being there and enjoying it together with Enzo and also for each of our Rally friends.
