Flyball is played on a 51 foot long course which includes four jumps and a flyball box. Two teams of 4 dogs each start at one end of the series of jumps and race to obtain a ball released by the flyball box at the opposite end. Dogs must complete all four jumps both to and from the box and catch and keep the ball when it is released at the box. The first relay team with all 4 dogs to cross the start/ finish line with no faults wins!
All types of dogs can compete in flyball! The “height dog” or smallest dog on the team determines the jump height, and dogs are categorized according to their performance strength to determine which position they will play on the relay team.
We are so excited to start training for this fun sport! Hope to see you in class!
