Welcome to this seminar!

Rally Obedience is a popular dog sport practiced in many parts of the world. While most countries have traditionally developed their own national regulations, an international set of rules was introduced by the FCI in 2024. This seminar is based on these international FCI Rally Obedience Regulations, and will provide an introduction to FCI Rally Obedience.

These Regulations and Rules are designed to promote the sport of Rally Obedience and to support competitive Rally Obedience across national borders. They apply to FCI Rally Obedience trials in countries where the national canine organisations (NCOs) have chosen to adopt them. This seminar is based on the Regulations and Rules for International FCI Rally Obedience (effective from 1 February 2025), available on the FCI website.

An official demonstration of the Rally Obedience signs is also available on YouTube. It may be helpful to watch this before the seminar if you haven’t seen the signs performed before. That way, it will be easier to form a clear picture of what I am referring to during the seminar.
