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!

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!

@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.

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

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.

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

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!

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 ;)

sooo gonna try it with my dog!

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

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