Flyball Fun



Our beginner flyball dogs are doing very well!  If you want some extra practice, here are a few drills to try.

Jump over and back

  Set up a single jump and practice jumping over, turning in a tight arc, and jumping back over the jump.  You can have doggy turn around a cone or use the “around” command.

Recalls

  Flyball is less about having a dog that is ball motivated, and more about having a dog that will return to you upon call -every time.  Practice recalls by playing fetch or letting doggy out on a long line to sniff, then return on call.

Throwing parties

  Flyball is a very LOUD sport!  Practice jackpotting doggy and throwing them a party (becoming really excited) when they accomplish something new.

See you at practice!
