Developed by Shelly Switick of Precision Flyball Training, this course addresses the crucial need for earlier, appropriate education in performance dogs. Flyball is physically demanding, and waiting until growth plates close before beginning foundational instruction puts dogs at a significant disadvantage.
Instead, we strategically leverage puppyhood to assemble the “Flyball puzzle.” We teach each individual skill aspect while they are small, long before putting the high-impact pieces together. By introducing major Flyball elements early—foundations that benefit many other dog sports—we ensure your dog matures into a future rockstar.
Course Focus Categories: Toy play, impulse control, passing, recalls, driving away, collection, retrieving, and resiliency games.
Who This Course Is For:
- Puppies: Designed for young dogs ready to learn (8 weeks and older)
- Adult Beginners: Ideal for adult dogs just starting their Flyball journey.
