Flyball focused on fun–each team must have four handlers plus a ‘box loader’ and some reserves. Two teams compete at one time, with each dog jumping over four hurdles in succession before triggering the pedal on the Flyball box. A tennis ball is then released which the dog must catch and hold before returning over the hurdles to the start line. All dogs must wear a smooth buckled collar, or a close fitting harness, which must be used by the handler to restrain the dog whilst waiting its turn, as the dogs get very excited. The first team to have its fourth dog across the finish line, with any part of the dog’s body, wins the race. A wide area at the end of the hurdles is also necessary for dogs leaping into the air to catch the ball as it flies out of the box!
Prerequisite for this class child & Parent must smile & have fun.

Hi, I took a recall class with Keyper & am interested in putting him in flyball. I did not see a class schedule for this, will there be a class starting in the near future?
PS. Keyper has taken puppy 1A & 1B, 1 obedience & 2 agility courses & loves to run & have fun. He hasn’t taken a course since the Recall class with you in March of 09. He needs to get back into the swing of things. If the flyball isn’t available, could you suggest a class that we could take that would be to his benefit?
I apologize, I neglected to mention that Keyper is a 2 yr. old Cavachon.
