Team
Experience with FCI Rally Obedience
I have been practicing Rally Obedience with my dog Rei for four years. In Spain, we initially had unofficial regulations. Two years ago, we adopted the international regulations, which allowed us to start competing.
What I love most about FCI Rally Obedience
I think the best thing about this sport is that it gives you the opportunity to do an activity as a team with your dog, and it is accessible to all types of dogs.
Best Result achieved with my Dog
Over the past two years, we have had excellent results at the Spanish Championship, winning the title last year and finishing in second place this year.
Other Dog Sports I do
We also practice Obedience.
Especially looking forward to
I want to be able to fully enjoy this experience with my dog and share it with all the people who support me.

Team
Experience with FCI Rally Obedience
I have been training in FCI Rally since September 2025 and competing since December 2025.
What I love most about FCI Rally Obedience
For me, the best thing about FCI Rally is the connection and synchronisation it creates between the dog and the handler. I love the possibility of communicating with your dog in such a natural way and the feeling of working together as a true team throughout the course.
Best Result achieved with my Dog
Our best achievement was winning the Spanish National Cup and the selection event, which allowed us to qualify for the Spanish national team and compete at the FCI Rally Obedience World Championship.
Other Dog Sports I do
We have previously competed in IBGH, and we currently also compete in Agility and STPR, in addition to FCI Rally.
Especially looking forward to
I am especially looking forward to experiencing our first World Championship, representing Spain and sharing this very special event with teams from many different countries. One of my main goals is to learn from outstanding dog-handler teams and from people with extensive experience in the discipline. I would also love to bring that knowledge and learning back to Spain and help share it in my country, where Rally Obedience is still a very young and developing sport.
Above all, I hope to enjoy the experience, learn as much as possible and perform at our best as a team.
