What is Flyball?
Flyball is a team sport for dogs that was invented in California in 1978.
Flyball races match two teams of four dogs each, racing side-by-side, over a 51 foot long course. Races are divided into heats.  Each dog must run in relay fashion down over the hurdles, trigger a flyball box, releasing and retrieving the ball and return over the hurdles. The next dog is released to run the course but can't cross the start/finish line until the previous dog has returned over all 4 hurdles and reached the start/finish line. The first team to have all 4 dogs finish the course without error wins the heat.

Hurdle heights depend on the height of the shortest dog (height dog) on the team. Dogs jump at four inches (4") less than the shortest shoulder height. The minimum hurdle is seven inches (7") while the maximum is fourteen inches (14").

Dogs earn points towards Flyball titles. The total time for each heat determines how many points are earned. Runs under 32 seconds earn each dog 1 point, under 32 seconds earn 5 points and for the fastest dogs, under 24 seconds earn 25 points. The world record is just over 15 seconds.

Competition is sanctioned by the North American Flyball Association (NAFA tm). PUSH The Limits! team supports the aims of NAFA and works to promote good sportsmanship. 

It's a fun and social team sport for both the owners and their dogs.  

Both you and your dog will have fun at this fast action sport.

Nutrition is a complex and integral part of your dog’s ability to think clearly, lower stress levels and a produce a calmer behaviour.
If a dog is on a poor quality food they cannot focus and lose concentration after a short period of time or become confused. If the dog is continually asked to do something they cannot comprehend, confusion can  lead to  aggressive behaviours.
Hyper, unfocused and out of control dogs often are eating foods with high levels of cereal foods such as wheat, corn, cornmeal, fillers, and sugars. You deserve the best for your dog.
Our dogs at Ditto's Canine Learning Centre prefer Now! & Go!.
