Flyball I
6 weeks | Walnut Creek
Flyball is a dog relay race in which teams of dogs race against each other from a start/finish line, over a line of hurdles, to a box that releases a tennis ball to be caught when the dog presses the spring loaded pad, then back to their handlers while carrying the ball. It's high energy, fun and loud! Dogs who are crazy for just about any dog toy love this sport! Learn the basics of flyball as you teach your dog to run a flyball course. Enroll now.
Prerequisite: Dogs must be well socialized to other dogs and people. Dogs should be in good physical shape and enjoy chasing a tennis ball. Basic obedience skills are required including a controlled recall.
