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 the handler whilst carrying the ball.

Flyball started as a dog sport in the late 1960's and early 70's in Southern California USA. It made its debut at Crufts in 1990.

The sport of Flyball is suitable for any dog over 12 months of age regardless of breed shape or size. Dogs who love to chase, jump catch and retrieve and who just love to please their owners are well suited to Flyball.

Dogs before beginning to learn Flyball need to have good basic training, and have to be well socialized. Flyball can seem like a pack to a dog so pre-socialisation is therefore a must.
