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 4 hurdles towards a device that ejects a tennis ball for the dog to catch and return to its owner, while jumping back over the 4 hurdles and through an electronic timing gate. Flyball is fast and furious, involves a lot of excited dog barking and is sometime called 'drag racing for dogs'.

The ACTCDC Flyball teams compete under the name of Canberra X-Factor. This year, CDC Canberra X-Factor was named "Club of the Year" by the Australian Flyball Association.

Every dog, regardless of shape, size or breed, can learn Flyball. X-Factor teams include border collies, jack russells, kelpies, labs, staffies and mixed breed dogs.

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