There are a few things to consider if you plan to join a flyball team. One of them is the response you get from your dog when you introduce certain elements of the game. Does your dog like tennis balls? Flyball is very competitive, sometimes very hard but, great fun. There are other dogs, most of them barking wildly and ent...

Someone, {name withheld} has confessed they did the duct tape, zip tie prank but, swears they didn't do the lights prank. Alcohol makes people do stupid things.

Learn to train your flyball dog! Tuesday, March 17, 2009. One of the first lessons a puppy or an older flyball prospect learns is to "chase". Why is this exercise so important? It is important because we want the dog to return to you as fast. So, how do we get a fast recall on our dog? Eventually, your puppy (or older dog, this works for both) will tell you which toy he/she prefers. Now, on to our recall lesson. If you can get another person to hold your puppy while you call them, great! I mean, in the g...
