Flyball is a relay race between two teams of four dogs. Each dog goes over four jumps, triggers a box to release a ball, and then carries the ball back over the four jumps. The dogs pass nose to nose at the start line. If a dog makes an error, such as missing a jump, dropping the ball, or passing too early, they run again. The first team to successfully complete the course wins. Dogs of all sizes & breeds (including mixes) compete. It’s a great sport for dogs with lots of energy to burn.
