What is Flyball?

[HateIronMaiden]

Thank you very much!

I didn't knew ANYTHING about flyball before. I just saw it one place on the internet that "flyball" was mentioned, and i thought: Wot the FUCK is flyball?

And this video gave me a good describement.

[MrOzzyPom]

How come none of the dogs in the 'Swimmer's Turn' section did a swimmer's turn?

[evaundele123]

We (my dog and I) love FLYBALL! Very nice video. =)

[machmrbojangles]

This was obviously a lot of work and I really enjoyed it. It's a super video to show to folks who ask, "What's flyball?" The bloopers at the end made me laugh out loud. I think we've experienced each one of those. HAHAHAH!

[pdcpaolla]

I really like this, seems so fun to train with dogs. I love agility, and never did flyball, cuz i live in brazil and I don't know any flyball practice, match or competition here. If someone knows about brazilian flyball, pleas tell me ;)

[123kawaiigirl123]

sooo gonna try it with my dog!

[Sokusa]

I love your music selection! My dog would be the one that can't find the ball after he released it, haha.

If you're still answering questions, does pretty much every team have a height dog? I'm prolly not gonna do the sport (or get a dog) anytime soon, cause I'm just a kid, but I'm more of a big dog person. :3

[Viperclan2]

Oh! So this is like a relay race! Now I get it! :D

[WickedLy15]

I love that this is a dog sport which any dog (As long as they are active) can take part in its just so cool can't wait to start it with my pup when i get it thanks for the video it taught me a lot

[booyouh0ar]

0:48 made me laugh.

boing...boing...boing...

XD

There are a number of comments regarding the lack of true swimmers turns. We recognize this and have focused our training on this area. Full swimmers turns means all four feet on the box at the same time with a push off the box on the return. All dogs (even big dogs) can do this, but at the time of the video this was the best we had. Our team now is doing much better in this area, just no good video footage together for uploading. :) Keep the comments coming!

[Jal1515]

i have another question.. some of the clips don't have swimmer turns.. i guess it's just natural for big dogs?

[plumwoodposse]

Excellent video!! loved the music choices!! Thanks, am sharing the link!! :-))

[slcpunklvr]

i didnt know what flyball was but now i do, great and exciting video, nice job! very cool sport!

[Jal1515]

awesome :) .. i am starting fly ball with my dog this September coming!! well training class of course! I can see my dog as either a Start Dog or Height Dog, but she's definitely intense and focused, even without starting lol! I have a question, what is the non-stick tape being used for on the dogs?.. like why do people put it on their dogs :) if anyone can answer!

[cadiletta]

@Jal1515 The foot wraps are used particularly for speedy dogs who tend to skid as they reach the box. It protects the stop pads and dew claws from damage during long tournament days.

[Jal1515]

@cadiletta thanks :) i was thinking of that but wasn't really sure.

[cadiletta]

Thanks for all the comments, I'm working to get the audio reinstated.

[AtomicKeeg]

WMG and people who report songs need to get a life. Its pretty sad. But on the other hand great video :)

[orangedac]

I believe its also called "The Rocket Relay"

[dalmatian4]

thumbs up to the creator of this video. You did a fabulous job of explaining and showing the sport to anyone. When ever friends/family/coworkers ask me what flyball is I just send them this link.

[yengxiong010]

wow that dog at 1:00 is fast.

[heavenlyjumper]

Holy MOLEY! This seriously looks like great fun :D I'm glad I'm not the only one that said they had tears of excitement!! Thanks for such a great video!

[rizien]

The bloopers are hilarious

[NurseVampire]

Awesome video....a lot of dogs in Flyball are rescues from shelters, neglect, abuse...but look at them now! They have a purpose once again and loving life :-)

[moisigt]

That seems so much fun! :D

[chrisandblast]

Great dogs! Great editing and video. Really captures the spirit of the sport. Do you have more?

[battletoads22]

Great video.

[eventin4air]

awesome dogs. how do you start training. I have a 8 month old jack russel, who loves to run, is fairly fast, and LOVESSSS LOVES LOVES to chase her ball. I was wondering if you could give me any tips? Thanks!

[KIBAfang90]

yes teach her to leave a ball then to fetch a ball. teach her to fetch a ball over things too but never around things =]

[Sanchara]

this is so cool it brought tears of excitment to my eyes!

[MrTWM]

Great song selections and very informative. I can't wait to start flyball class's!

[RallyJudge]

Friends and I have been itching to start at least playing with flyball - have a box and jumps and some ball crazed hunds - this is an inspiration. Thanks.

[oneworldfamily]

This is brilliant. I was just crying while reading about dog euthanasia on another website (won't explain detail here), but am overjoyed to see these dogs having such a wonderful time. My tears turned to intense laughter, especially with the bloopers! Fantastic! Thanks for uploading.

[shilohmustang]

Amazingly done! Music really helps and is great!

[nataliacuadrador]

Hi, funny video, but when you talk abput swimming turn, the dogs you show in the video are no doing properly

[psulion22]

[jaylinII]

[Sabot46290]

Thanks for the video! I've seen the flyball boxes and jumpes in my dog catalog but didn't know how the sport went. Great explanations and catchy tunes :P

[AnimalWalk]

Great video. A favorite. :-)

[zarmalar]

Awsome!!! very cool and great songs to portray the best dog sport ever!! very imformative but not boring.

[RunAmuckFlyball]

Great video!

[jamopar]

Great video! This is awesome - I'm going to have to teach my dogs to play flyball now! :-)

[TayPooh]

GREAT VID!!!!!!!! I do flyball with my BC it has helped her so much she was having some behavior problems BUT now she can be around other dogs w/o snapping at them! We teach our dogs to be calm at the start line none of that frenzied out of control behavior u can see.FLYBALL ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hullshaven]

Love the video, but the dogs you show doing swimmer's turns in fact are only doing a two foot box. Not poking, just sayin.

[kristyfields]

Nice video! I like the retro intro. Thanks for explaining the rules and keeping it fun!

[aristel99]

thankyou for posting a video that actually explains the sport, rules etc

[mom2jgd]
