Flyball
What is flyball? Flyball is a relay race between two teams of four dogs. Racing side by side, one dog from each team must go over four hurdles, trigger a flyball box pedal, catch (retrieve) a ball and then return over all four hurdles to the start/finish line where the next dog eagerly awaits.
Flyball is a team sport. Each team consists of four dogs racing in each heat, plus up to two reserves. Reserves can be interchanged after each heat. There are between three and five heats to a race, and a team has to win a majority of heats to win the race.
What are the benefits of flyball? Flyball encompasses all the things that dogs love to do - jumping, catching, retrieving, competing and striving to please their owners. Any dog can participate, regardless of breed, shape or size. Flyball does not interfere with obedience training. In fact, the sport reinforces the disciplines taught in obedience class.
Besides being great for dogs, flyball is a lot of fun for people too! It is a great way to meet people locally and all around Australia. The team-work aspects bring people together as they strive to improve their team's performance. Flyball can be as competitive as you want to make it. The best part of all is just having fun with your dog, and seeing the look of excitement on your dog's face at the start of a day of racing, and the look of content at the end of the day.
Some basic obedience skills are beneficial before starting flyball training.

Beginners are accepted into class each week. Training is $5.00 per night plus club membership of $20 (single) or $30 (family of 2 or more). You must be a member of the club to train.
