Foundations for Flyball
Strong flyball teams are built on strong foundations. 🐾
This page is your go-to resource for developing the core skills every flyball dog needs before speed ever comes into play.
Whether you’re brand new to the sport or refining the basics with an experienced dog, you’ll find tips, links, and videos that break down flyball foundations into clear, achievable steps. We focus on building confident, thoughtful athletes who understand how to move—not just how fast.
Topics include:
- Motivation and tug drive
- Focus, recalls, and handler engagement
- Jump fundamentals and stride awareness
- Turn mechanics and box approach basics
- Team skills that set dogs up for safe, successful racing
Our goal is to help dogs learn correct mechanics early, reduce injury risk, and create a love for the game that lasts. These foundations support every stage of flyball—from first lessons to tournament lanes—so teams can train smarter, race harder, and most importantly, have fun doing it.
