by Terry Lynn Cuyler, APDT, CPDT-KA K.L., reader copyright on file Rose Runs an Agility Course Dear Terry, My Border Collie is a bundle of energy. I've been told and have read that he needs a job. I'm considering herding and agility, but am worried about him getting hurt in agility. Can you give me some tips on safe agility training? And what about me; will I need to be in great shape to run around with him, or will I just give the orders? I am able to run and be active, but am not familiar...FlyBall... Or what is it exactly?

For some people, having a dog and play fetch with him doesn't fulfill the need for exercise for either the dog or his owner. It might be the reason why, in the early 1970's, a group of dog trainers in California invented the first flyball box. But what is a flyball? An easy answer to this question would be that flyball is a dog team relay-race sport. http://www.americanwhippetclub.net/awcpages/whipfly.htmlAccording to the flyballdogs.com website, Flyball is "...a relay race with 4 dogs on a...Vesta's first flyball tournament

Miss Vesta is going with us to the flyball tournament in York, PA this weekend. This will be her first time at such an event...and we're hoping she handles it well. Flyball is noisy and there are a lot of dogs and people to sniff/say hi to. Mom is bringing lots of Kongs and treat-dispensing toys for her, to keep her busy in her crate while we're racing. Wish us all luck! ~SDS PS...for more info on the tournament: Jet Set FlyballFlyball for your Labrador Retriever

Flyball is a sport you and your Lab can both participate in and enjoy. It started in California in the United States in the early 1970s. Its invention is credited to Herbert Wagner. He created a ball launcher. After a demonstration, he discovered both dogs and owners loved it. The spectators of the new sport also enjoyed it.
The sport took off first in Canada and the United States in the 1980s. It gained popularity in the United Kingdom in the 1990s. It is now considered a serious competitive...

It was a long and busy day for the Beaglets on Saturday. Beanie, Biggles and their pal Bundy were all working at Paws in the Park (along with their 2 legged assistants Brian, Carolyn, Paul and I).
Paws in the Park is an annual doggy event in Rouken Glen park hosted by the Glasgow Dog Training club. This year we were asked to run the agility Have a Go activity. As seasoned flyball pros (well, theyve done a bit) Beanie, Biggles and Bundy were the obvious choice.
We decided to photograph all of...

When I got Nickel, my oldest dog, I heard about flyball and decided to take him to class. He seemed to enjoy it, and did all right, and I had fun. Since I knew little about structure, sports training, or related topics at the time, it took me a while to figure out that Nick actually was not cut out to dedicate his life to performance sports. Hes plenty smart, but low-key, and his structure isnt so great, so hes not that fast or efficient. He was satisfied after a few...
