Flyball

Flyball is an exciting Dog Sport for you and your dog, invented in the late 1970’s. Flyball races match two teams of four dogs each, racing side-by-side over a 51 foot long course. Each dog must run in relay fashion down the jumps, trigger a Flyball box, releasing the ball, retrieve the ball, and return over the jumps. The next dog is released to run the course but can’t cross the start/finish line until the previous dog has returned over all 4 jumps and reached the start/finish line. The first team to have all 4 dogs finish the course without error wins the heat. Jump height is determined by the smallest dog on the team – this dog is called the “height dog”.

Intro to Flyball

In Intro to Flyball, you and your dog will learn basics about Flyball such as the steps of how to teach to retrieve a ball and have a “dead” ball brought back to hand, recalls past other dogs, and your dog focus on you while other dogs run past, chaining the jumps, learning the mechanics of the Flyball box turn. No previous training needed, but basic obedience knowledge is helpful.
