Well Flygility has become a truly serious sport with titles and expensive prizes and ribbons and it just isn't a bunch of people turning up on a day at a place and playing a dog game with minimal equipment. All we need is 8 dogs and we are away.Two boxes eight fly hurdles and some balls. Great.
It is just sort of Kareoke... <a href="http://dogsplay.co.nz/dotcl/index.php?post/2012/11/04/Why-Flyball"><em>Read</em> Why Flyball?</a></p>Real Dog Trainingurn:md5:164bc2b6f19a6187ad1466b633ca41c92012-11-02T15:32:00+00:002012-11-24T18:03:45+00:00Raewyn SavilleDog Sportsdog trainingflyball <p>it isn't all about spoilt rotten 1 year old Terriers.

Although I consider myself a good 'first trainer' for puppies and dogs, in terms of giving support to new dog handlers, helping them manage their puppy/s around their schedule and teach them to play games with their young dogs, it is inevitable that people who do formal puppy school have a desire to try the sport of Agility.
