Northern LightSpeed's Alaskan Backyard
Flyball is...
...a fast-paced, team oriented sport for dogs and their humans.
...a relay race where two four-dog teams race against each other in parallel lanes. Each dog jumps four hurdles, triggers a spring loaded box to release a ball, catches the ball, carries it back over the hurdles to the start/finish line. The first team to get all four dogs across the finish line, wins.
...open to all sizes and breeds and is fun for the whole family!
Keep your eye on the "Light Tree" and don't be surprised to find yourself cheering for your favorite competitors.
