Flyball

Caroline from Dogsercise joins the podcast this week to talk about the dog sport flyball. Flyball is a fast-paced relay race where dogs jump over hurdles, trigger a flyball box to release a ball, and retrieve the ball back over the hurdles. Caroline explains that flyball is suitable for all breeds of dogs that are healthy and socially capable. She emphasises the importance of proper training and body awareness to prevent injuries. Flyball is still relatively new in Ireland, but Caroline hopes to see more teams and competitions in the future.
