Experience with FCI Rally Obedience<\/b>
\nI have been competing in rally obedience at FCI level since 2023.

\nWhat I love most about FCI Rally Obedience<\/b>
\nThe best thing about FCI Rally is the friendly communication with the dog during individual exercises. At the same time, I appreciate FCI as the highest level of Rally Obedience uniting teams across the world. I like the emphasis on precision in details.

\nBest Result achieved with my Dog<\/b>
\nOur success is the 3rd qualifying for the FCI Rally Obedience World Championship (with 2 dogs in 2024), CACIROB title (1st place in Europe Open 2025)

Experience with FCI Rally Obedience<\/b>
\nWe'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.

\nWhat I love most about FCI Rally Obedience<\/b>
\nThat 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.

\nBest Result achieved with my Dog<\/b>
\n1st place on EUROPA OPEN 2026, Hungary (FCI-ROB)
\nCzech champion 2025 (Rally obedience)
\nBest Czech male bordercollie in rally obedience 2024, 2025
\nChampion of dogdancing. Qualifying in WC FCI ROB for the third time\n

\nOther Dog Sports I do<\/b>
\nWe 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.

\nEspecially looking forward to<\/b>
\nBeing there and enjoying it together with Enzo and also for each of our Rally friends. <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Experience with FCI Rally Obedience<\/b>
\nWe started training rally obedience last year, and we entered the FCI class for the first time this year (2026).

\nWhat I love most about FCI Rally Obedience<\/b>
\nWhat I love about rally obedience in general, not just FCI, is the heeling and all the little details. I really enjoy the different combinations and challenges, and the fact that the same exercise can feel completely different every time thanks to various combinations.

\nBest Result achieved with my Dog<\/b>
\nOur best result with Topinka is 4th place at last year's Czech National Championship.

\nOther Dog Sports I do<\/b>
\nWith both of my dogs, I primarily do agility; rally obedience is our second sport. Right after the World Championship in rally obedience, Topinka will also compete at the Agility World Championship in Finland this year.

\nEspecially looking forward to<\/b>

\nI started to train the FCI Rally Obedience in2024.

\nWhat I love most about FCI Rally Obedience<\/b>
\nFCI rally is always challenging. I like close cooperation between the Handler and the dog. Every course is different and the almost unlimited combination of the exercises makes it unique. <\/b>

\nBest Result achieved with my Dog<\/b>
Each course finished is our next step forward. Best result is finishing the course with close cooperation.

\nOther Dog Sports I do<\/b>
\nDog trekking, canicross, tracking, herding.

\nEspecially looking forward to<\/b>
\nI\u2019m looking forward to meet our FCI rally international family. It will be pleasure to spend my time with our Czech national team and do all my best for them.

Experience with FCI Rally Obedience<\/b>
\nI have been preparing my dog for FCI since 2023, when my dog (AUO) was born, but we do not compete in FCI yet. We are not ready yet.

\nWhat I love most about FCI Rally Obedience<\/b>
\nFCI rally is a challenge. Every course is different, and every combination requires precise execution, precise heelwork, and it is a challenge. I like the friendly approach to the dog, the opportunity for communication, and the encouragement during the performance.

\nBest Result achieved with my Dog<\/b>
\nWe do not compete in FCI yet. We currently compete under the Czech rally obedience rules, and we do better sometimes and worse other times. My priority is to be in harmony with my dog on the course.

\nOther Dog Sports I do<\/b>
\nI love hiking in the mountains, where I do not compete! Otherwise, I try out agility, dogdancing, herding and we also like canicross.

\nEspecially looking forward to<\/b>
\nI am looking forward to the great group of people involved in FCI rally, I look forward to the professional performances of the competitors, and above all, I look forward to helping everyone in the Czech team so they can focus on their runs.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
