DASH Flyball Dogs

DASH flyball is a group of dog lovers that like to get out and have fun with their dogs.

What is Flyball?
Flyball races match two teams of four dogs each, racing side-by-side over a 51 foot long course. Each dog must run in relay fashion down the jumps, trigger a flyball box, releasing the ball, retrieve the ball, and return over the jumps. The next dog is released to run the course but can't cross the start/finish line until the previous dog has returned over all 4 jumps and reached the start/finish line. The first team to have all 4 dogs finish the course without error wins the heat.
It's loads of fun and it's a great way to meet others who love to bond with their dogs.

We meet just about every Sunday at Flagpole Hill in Dallas (except when we are at Tournaments). Come out and see what Flyball is all about. Bring your dog!!!!!!

I doesn't matter if neither you nor your dog/s have never tried Flyball. We all had to start somewhere.

Please bring the following with you.

Leash (all dogs must either on leash when not crated)
Water
Crate
Treats
Favorite Toys
Lawn chair (for yourself)


*Dogs must be current on all vaccinations

  • "Susie, I will be trying to make most of the Flyball Meetups for the next 2-3 months. But I'll probably not be there before 2pm or 2:30pm on some Sundays. Would you mind giving me your cell phone # so I can check to see if you guys are still practicing before I make the drive from Plano? Email me if you don't mind giving me #. I went on April 6 and arrived a bit after 2pm - and nobody was there. I thought 'Boy, they didn't practice for long.' Duh, I just looked at the calendar!! "
