All About Flyball for Dogs |

 Flyball is a fast paced, high energy, relay race for dogs. It is a lot of fun for the dogs and for their owners...
How it works...
There are six dogs on each team. Four of those dogs are allowed to run at each heat (session). One at a time, the dogs have to run over 4 jumps, hit a pressure triggered box that projects a tennis ball, the dog must catch the tennis ball, and return OVER all four jumps.
- When the first dog has crossed the start/finish line, the next dog may go.
- When all six dogs on your team have run the course with no mistakes, you are finished.
If a dog misses a jump, or fails to bring back the ball, he gets a red flag and must go to the back of the line and run as a 5th dog.
The first of the two teams to complete the course with no mistakes wins the heat.
The first team to win four heats wins that race! 
Look for a Flyball competition near you and bring the whole family to enjoy the fun and entertainment!
