FCI obedience

The video clips (see link below) show FCI (Federation Cynologique Internationale) obedience trials. FCI is the venue that holds obedience trials in most of Europe. Their obedience is very different from ours. If you are interested a copy of the FCI obedience rules complete with a description of the exercises they can be downloaded from
www.dansk-kennel-klub.dk/files/pdf/*Obedience*_Regulations.pdf (Adobe Acrobat) or www.fci.be/uploaded_files/*Obedience*_EN.doc (Microsoft Word). Either document is in English.

The page containing the videos (link above) is in French. But, you don't have to know how to read French to use this site. These videos were taken at the 2006 World Championships (Championnat du Monde 2006).
They are divided by country represented (each box is a different country). Than they are listed by Team (in Bold is the person and dogs name).
And finally they are organized by exercise.
* "suite" = heeling exercises,
* "Grand Carré" = box heeling, one side moving stand, one side moving down, one side moving sit.
* "Rappel" = from down, sit on recall, stand on recall, come directly to heel
* "Enavant" = go out to box, stop command, down command, call to moving heel.
* "Directionnel" = go out to cone/or marker on ground, stop, go retrieve, return to heel,
* "Saut" = retrieve metal dumbbell over high jump, return to heel.
* "Odorat" = scent discrimination
* "Positions" = signals (including sit, down, stand ... order different each time, determined by judge).
