Where can I learn flyball?

Bay Racers occasionally holds Intro & Intermediate Flyball Workshops . Contact us if you're interested. Here are details on the Spring Session (the next should be in the late Summer or Fall):

Dates

April 3, 10, & 17 (3 sessions) plus a bonus optional class at UC Davis Playday on Saturday, April 16!

Time

(each class is two hours)

Prices

$150 Sign Up

Location

Southgate Elementary Field, Hayward (note that this is outside)

Requirements

This is a fast-paced workshop for well-trained dogs who are interested in learning to compete in flyball. If your dog has been through at least two other training classes (clicker training, obedience, agility, flyball, etc.), you may be a candidate for this class. Clicker-training is a real plus for this class, as is some previous exposure to flyball.

Contact us if you think you and your dog may qualify. As always, we use strictly positive, Robbins-based methods.

Bring to Class
  • Your dog, on leash
  • Your dog's recall toy
  • Proof of vaccination against Rabies
  • A flat dog collar and harness
  • A comfortable leash (4-6 foot), no Flexis
  • Treats and a clicker
  • Chair, water for both you & your dog, water bowl, poop bags
  • Please wear comfortable shoes and clothes, flyball is an athletic dog sport (for both of you)
  • A crate or x-pen where your dog can rest between exercises
Rules and Format
  • We will spend most of our class working on drills individually and in small groups with the dogs, so take advantage of your chances to give your dog plenty of opportunity to rest and drink
  • Please keep your dog on leash or crated, unless you are actively working with your dog (they'll appreciate the break!)
  • Clean up poop
  • While you are not working your dog, please put them up (in crate or xpen), and watch what is going on with the other dogs
Clicker Training? We love clickers and use them for everything. We will have a brief review in the class, for those new or rusty with clickers. Here is more info on getting started; try teaching your dog to shake hands! (we'll use this in class)

I missed the workshop, where else can I learn flyball?

Here are some places that also teach flyball:

  • San Francisco SPCA, Introduction and Intermediate Flyball. We work directly with the SPCA dog trainers at these classes, using our equipment.
  • If you are waiting for an Intermediate Flyball class, you may be able to practice with us in the meantime. Send us an email to arrange an evaluation.
  • Pawdemonium in San Jose sometimes offers Beginning Flyball workshops.
