Has any body let there dog do flyball

I didn't no what this was. I was looking at our website and found it on the Sports & Gymnastic page, so I went on you tube and found some flyball on there. It looks like good fun for your dog. Has anyone done this yet.

No but I have seen a lot of it and I have seen a few dogs get hurt doing it. I am not a big fan.

We're officially starting flyball this next Sunday. I contacted a local club a couple months ago, went and saw a local match to see how Sadie would react to 200 dogs barking simultaneously (omg), and the club formally invited us to start coming to practice. I think Sadie is going to have a blast

i do flyball with my dogs on a very regular basis. Oxide; don't know if you were thinking of Crufts flyall, if so youre right there were lots of injuries to be had! We participate in BFA flyball, crufts do now too (pedigree pulled out and so took their box with them) much fewer injuries in BFA and the ones that usually occur are tweaks and sprains, very much like injuries in agility Smile
flyball is great fun for dog and owner and very addictive! go to www.flyball.org.uk and see if you can find which team is closest to you Smile
