Flyball is the world’s fastest growing canine sport. Flyball is a relay race with four dogs on each team. The course consists of four hurdles and a box – the dogs jump over the hurdles and trigger a box which releases a ball. They then catch the ball and return back over the hurdles. As they pass the start gate, the next dog has its turn.
It takes roughly 12 months to prepare a dog for competition (depending on how well you and your dog work together). Training is great way to provide mental and physical stimulation for your dog and to help you focus your dogs energy. During this time both you and your dog will enjoy the benefits of increased fitness and focus!
Competitive Flyball is fast, noisy and exciting!
This Flyball training class has seen the formation of the Flyball Fanatics Club (the competitive teams) who have competed at the first competition held in Queensland in 2001 and ever since. The Flyball Fanatics are a social group of people who enjoy travelling to competitions and seeing their dogs do well. We are all enjoy the company of our dogs and organise social events throughout the year.
The RSPCA regards Flyball as an important part of its plan for promoting responsible dog ownership and addressing obesity in dogs.
