ACT Companion Dog Club

Welcome to Flyball at CDC

 About Flyball

Flyball is an adrenalin pumping relay race between two teams, each of four dogs. Each dog must run a course over four hurdles towards a Flyball Box that ejects a tennis ball for the dog to catch and return to its owner after jumping back over the four hurdles and through an electronic timing gate. Flyball can be fast and furious depending on the team of dogs, slower dogs have just as much fun as the fast dogs and are very entertaining.

The ACTCDC Flyball teams compete under the name of Canberra X-Factor. CDC Flyball dogs range from the very slow (10 seconds) to the very fast (4 seconds) but all love it.

Every dog, regardless of shape, size or breed, can learn Flyball.  The X-Factor team includes border collies, jack russells, kelpies, labs, retrievers, spaniels and mixed breed dogs.

If you'd like to give Flyball a try, contact Lesley by email or come along to a training session one Sunday - check our event calendar first, just in case we're heading off to a competition!
