FLYBALL
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT BREED SHAPE OR SIZE YOUR DOG IS, AS LONG AS THEY LIKE TO PLAY WITH A TENNIS BALL AND IF YOU ENJOY HAVING FUN WITH YOUR DOG, THEN FLYBALL COULD JUST BE THE ACTIVITY FOR YOU. IT IS FAST, NOISY, VERY EXCITING AND COMPETITIVE BUT MOST OF ALL IT IS GREAT FUN FOR YOUR DOG AS WELL AS YOU, AND FURTHER MORE THE WHOLE FAMILY CAN GET INVOLVED.
FLYBALL IS A TEAM SPORT AND CONSISTS OF A FOUR DOG RELAY RACE TEAM. THE DOGS RUN APPROXIMATELY 86 FEET WHILE JUMPING OVER FOUR JUMPS, HIT A BOX WITH THEIR PAWS, CATCH A TENNIS BALL, TURN AROUND, RUN BACK JUMPING OVER THE FOUR JUMPS AGAIN AND CHASE THEIR HANDLER TO THE BACK OF THE RING. THEN THE NEXT DOG GOES AND SO ON UNTILL ALL FOUR DOGS HAVE COMPLETED THE RUN.
NOW THAT I HAVE TOLD YOU THE BEST PARTS OF FLYBALL, I WILL EXPLAIN THE BORING BITS: NATURALLY IT TAKES SOME TIME FOR THE DOGS TO LEARN TO DO ALL THIS. TIMING AND ACCURACY IN SENDING EACH DOG IN TURN IS VITAL AS IT SAVES PRECIOUS TIME. IT TAKES THE FASTEST TEAMS IN THE COUNTRY UNDER 17 SECONDS FOR ALL FOUR DOGS TO COMPLETE THE RUN. IF YOUR TEAM COMPLETES UNDER 30 SECONDS YOUR DOGS ALSO EARN POINTS WHICH COUNT TOWARDS AWARDS, BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER YOUR DOG RUNS FAST OR SLOW AS LONG AS YOU AND YOUR DOG ARE HAVING FUN.
