Flyball is a team relay race for dogs. It consists of 4 jumps, a spring loaded box that launches a ball when triggered by a dog’s paws, and 4 reved-up dogs eager to beat the team racing next to them!

Requirements: Dogs must be at least 3 months of age and should be in good physical health. Your first visit is a “meet and greet”. Bring your dog for a quick introduction to us and the sport.
​
How Do We Teach Flyball? Flyball should be some of the most fun you and your dog will ever have together! It is important when teaching new skills that the training is always positive and not stressful for you both. Very small, soft food treats work best as a high reinforcement. Corrections are not helpful when training new skills, instead just try again. We always want your dog to succeed. Remember that your dog may not learn as quickly as another, so don’t be discouraged.
​

What You Can Work On at Home! A fast, solid recall is very important. We will be showing you how to work on a FAST recall. When your dog returns from the box with a ball, you will need to find something else the the dog really wants to exchange the ball for. A tug toy works the best. We can show you how to build your dog’s tug drive. Work on conditioning your dog.

Play lots of ball, or whatever it takes to keep your dog moving. Swimming is a terrific muscle and stamina builder.
