A dog/handler team sport, flyball is a relay race of 4 dogs running a 65-foot course with 4 hurdles. A mechanical box tosses a tennis ball when triggered. Dogs grab the ball in mid-air and return to handler over the hurdles. Fast-paced and fun, most dogs learn to enjoy a true partnership with handlers. Energetic dogs learn control, shy dogs gain confidence, and owners have a great time!

Activity level: Flyball is strenuous for dog and handlers.
