Further Description
  • The Swifts Flyball Team train on Sunday afternoons near Sheepway.  We are now offering 8 week basic beginners courses.Any breed or size of dog can take part in flyball, as long as they are dog friendly and enjoy playing with a tennis ball.What Flyball is: Flyball is a team relay race for dogs. Two teams race each other over identical courses and the first team to get all their dogs back without mistake - wins. A team consists of between four and six dogs, with any four dogs racing at one time. Any small dogs racing on a team are called "Height Dogs". These dogs bring the jump height down for the team, giving the bigger dogs a bit of an advantage as they are able to "run" over the jumps, rather than hurdling them. Each dog has to race over four low hurdles, collect a tennis ball from a special box and return over the four hurdles. Time is saved by the dogs passing at full speed on the start/finish line.
