Introduction to Flyball

Want to do something really fun with your dog? Then try the sport of flyball. What is Flyball, you ask? Flyball is a relay race with 4 dogs on a team. The course consists of a starting line, 4 hurdles spaced 10 feet apart and a wooden flyball box. The first hurdle is 6 feet from the start line and the box is 15 feet from the last hurdle for a 51 foot overall length. Each dog jumps the hurdles and steps on a spring-loaded box that shoots out a tennis ball. The dog catches the tennis ball and then runs back over the 4 hurdles. When the dog crosses the starting line the next dog goes. The first team to have all 4 dogs run without errors wins the heat. The hurdles' height is dependent on the height of the dogs in the team -- 4" below the shoulder height of the shortest dog. However, 7" is the minimum height and 14" is the maximum height. This is an ongoing class and students can join at anytime. The only prerequisite is that your dog should like a ball and not have issues with other dogs.

Advanced/Team Practice Flyball

This class is for dogs that are triggering the flyball box, catching the ball and running without gates surrounding the jumps. We will continue to work on box skills, perfecting the swimmer’s turn, passing other dogs and running 2 lanes. Even if you don’t want to compete in flyball, this is a great way for your dog to run off some energy. This is an ongoing class and that students can join at any time.
