Labrador dogs absolutely love retrieving. They love retrieving balls, sticks, shoes, you name it they bring it. With soo many different obedience classes out there, why not let your furry furball join a high paced, ball loving sport called Flyball? This sport is perfect for labs and retrievers.

Flyball is played on teams of 4 dogs. The course has a start line, 4 evenly spaced hurdles and a spring loaded box. The dog runs over the hurdles, puts weight on the spring loaded box and a ball shoots out. The dog then catches the ball and runs back over the same course. The next dog then goes out on the course until all four dogs have gone.

This is a competitive sport and there are awards for the fastest time.
