Very cool! I hope we get to move closer to some place that has that for us to join.

My Australian Shepherd races Flyball as well. 4.3 seconds and very consistent. He holds his FMCh title and is only about three tournaments away from his Onyx!

How cool is that!!!!!! wave

I know Sally would be so good that flyball. She's so fast and so focused. If I get some extra time, I'm going to have to check into that. I'm sure in the Atlanta area, there must be some flyball group.

Thanks, Andrea, for sharing. bigthumb

Hey Melissa,

Do you have any experience with neoprene wraps? I was considering possibly getting some so we don't go through vet/power wrap over and over. I have a couple friends who use them and they like them pretty well.

Awesome! Jubilee is usually a consistent 4.4 at start and she can hit a 4.3. Singles she hit a pb of 4.28 but that has never happened in regular racing. WOW almost to an ONYX! That is fantastic! Jubilee is working on her FM in Nafa and Flyball Executive in U-Fli.

Wow there are a few flyball dogs here! Very cool!

Kel,,,,

We used Vet wrap for many years. Then we went to neoprene wraps on the front and Vet wrap in the rear. We ordered them from http://webpages.charter.net/dhfm/ZControl.html

[img]https://ultimateair.forumotion.com/other-sports-f10/[/img]My other aussie uses the vet wrap because some of the neoprene wraps will limit her motion when hitting the box. Just be careful you don't get the ones with the stiff supports. And I would love to imbed some flyball shots of my boy racing but I don't know how....can anyone show me?

Yeah, Rafe will race a 4.2 or faster at anchor but he hasn't gotten the chance to run anchor in a while. We have dogs with issues on our team that need that spot. He loves that spot!

Loving that there are flyballers that do dock diving. I truly think it helped my boy get the idea. And Disc work helped him do UV!

And two more for the road...then I'll stop playing and let other post of their dogs...(from a mommy who loves her baby...)

I feel that most dogs need the support. I have a 70 pound GSD running at the box... and Her box is not a 4 foot box it is a 2 on 2 off box. that is what happens when you are 4 ft long and had Bi lat TPO. for must of her flyball career she jumped 10's or 11's. She is ranked 3rd in GSD with 42,000 points. FDGCH. If you noticed the flexion in her wrist. sometimes the big dogs need that extra support of the boots.

Yea Jubilee is running thrid right now and she loves to be at start. We have a lot of up coming dogs so when we get a new team together she will be running start again. We have the same problem...a lot of our dogs need the anchor spot but luckily it is mostly due to inexperience so hopefully that will work itself out. It stinks when you can't run your dog in their most successful position but oh well.

I found out at this years UAD in Jax that the best way to jump Jubilee is to set her up as I do in the lane for flyball and let her rip rather than do the chase. She was jumping 16-17 and then I let her mark her ball, took her to the back of the dock, set her on my feet and gave her her flyball cadance and she jumped a pb of 19'10" lol.

awesome pics!

I tried setting my Rafe up like a flyball run but he does exactly what he does in flyball...surprise surprise! He flattens out and doesn't get any air. So I then figured out that doing it the way most people do by standing at the front of the dock he jumps up better and uses his speed to fly.

I have a picture of my red aussie with the same type of box turn and her carpus are flattened just like your dog's. We had to remove her from flyball racing for four years to retrain the swimmer's turn . It was a long process and we gave up after the first three years. When she ran without a ball...perfect swimmer's turn. With a ball, CRASH!!! So we ran her for a few years without a ball and the muscle memory kicked in. We started using the squishy balls so she could get a secure grip and now she does a very fast 4.0 second run with a quick swimmer's turn and does well.

by gatorblueyes Wed Apr 23, 2008 10:12 pm

Yea Jubilee flattened out too...no air...but I have no way to practice with her...I bet she would really fly if I could train her to get air.

by TheRafeHotline Fri May 02, 2008 1:14 am

Yeah I have to focus on getting Rafe to jump up and out. I have this fear that he'll level off and never jump further than he does right now. I try to keep him swimming and jumping at least once weekly, but it's hard to get him to do more than that. Thank God we have flyball every week (practice), tournaments in between, agility class and swimming/dock diving. The busier he is the stronger he'll be I guess.

Hope to see y'all at a tournament sometime soon! going to one in May!

There actually is a flyball group in the your area. They are located out of winterville, ga. Pretty close to you I'd say! You should check them out if you think Sally'd go for it. It looks like so much fun. We wanted to train Jack in this, but decided not to. I think he'd had a contiption fit with having to pass dogs with a toy in his mouth (he's way too possesive!)

It's funny though, sometimes you can't talk different dog sports to some. All my agility friends kept harping on me wanting to try flyball. "It's boring they said" Scream!!!

"Just a couple of jumps and a ball..." "what's the challenge" LOL. Now, look I do the most boring- Dock Diving. LOL, and my dog loves it and I love it! Na Na
