Cool Facts
Dogs race in teams. Four dogs on each team take turns running the same course one after another, each trying to be faster than the other team's dogs.
Jumping over hurdles. Each dog must leap over a line of four hurdles as they race down to the special flyball box at the end.
The magic box. When a dog presses a spring-loaded pad on the box, it shoots out a tennis ball that the dog catches in the air.
Super speedy relay. The dog catches the ball and races back over the hurdles to their handler, then the next team dog gets their turn.
Racing for records. Teams compete to see which can complete their relay the fastest, and some champion flyball dogs are incredibly quick and athletic.
