Dogs are introduced to the flyball hurdles and training is begun to teach proper box work. The flyball box is introduced and the dogs reaction to box movement and noise is evaluated. Ball retrieve, recalls, and motivational techniques will be part of the class curriculum as well. Attention will be devoted to physical condition also. Dogs must be 10 months of age or older.

Intermediate Class

Prerequisite: 4DN Beginning Class or demonstrate ability to run 4 hurdles and have preliminary box work.
Dogs continue to work with retrieving a ball from the box, working on their box turn, and hurdles. Slowly jumps are added to the box work.

Advanced Class
Saturday evenings, Contact us for dates and times.
Prerequisite: 4DN Intermediate Class or demonstrate ability to run 4 hurdles, retrieve ball from box, and return to handler.
Time is now devoted to perfecting the dog and handler's technique in running the flyball course.  Distractions will be added and they will learn to run with other dogs...on their team and in the other lane.  Dogs graduate when they are ready to join a team.

Classes are held in sessions of 6 1-hour classes.   Pre-registration is required. Please contact us for the registration forms and class schedule.   All training is administered using methods that promote fun and safety for dog and handler. No choke or prong collars are allowed.

4DN Team Practice
Practice on Saturdays, 8pm
Any dog that has graduated from the advanced class or has run on another flyball team will be considered for membership to 4 Dog Night.  We will do our best to put dogs on a team where they are best suited.  We enjoy going to as many tournaments as we can and somtimes travel some distance.  No one has to go to every tournament but is welcome to select which ones they want to attend.  The team will also put on a flyball tournament every year.  ALL team members must participate in this event by helping in anyway they can.

All are welcome to come and visit our classes and practices.  Please contact us to ensure we will be in session on the day of your visit.
