The New Era - PUPS CrazyK9 Flyball Team!
This is our CrazyK9 Flyball Logo, do you like it? After the awards of the 2017 PUPS Positive Challenge, now it the time for us to claim our prize for the coveted 6-sessions FLYBALL Training Session with PUPS Dog Training.
Out of the 12 Winners, 10 dogs came forward and join us for our very 1st Session last Sunday at West Coast Park Dog Run (WCDR). We all had a Blast!
Flyball is a dog sport in which teams of dogs race against each other from a start/finish line, over a line of hurdles, to a box that releases a tennis ball to be caught when the dog presses the spring-loaded pad, then back to their handlers while carrying the ball.
Flyball is run in teams of four dogs, as a relay. The course consists of four hurdles placed 10 feet (3 m) apart from each other, with the starting line six feet (1.8 m) from the first hurdle, and the flyball box 15 feet (4.5 m) after the last one, making for a 51-foot (15.5 m) length.
The hurdle height is determined by the shoulder height of the smallest dog in the team. Under current North American Flyball Association (NAFA) rules this should be 5 inches (12.7 cm) below the withers height of the smallest dog, to a height of no less than 7 inches (20.3 cm) and no greater than 14 inches (40.6 cm). Current EFC (European Flyball Championship) rules limits the height to no less than 17.5 cm and no greater than 35 cm. Each dog must return its ball all the way across the start line before the next dog crosses. Ideal running is nose-to-nose at the start line.
The first team to have all four dogs cross the finish line error-free wins the heat. Penalties are applied to teams if the ball is dropped or if the next relay dog is released early.
