Beginner Groups

 

If you're interested in flyball, consider joining one of our beginner groups. Prospective dogs should have basic obedience training, be dog-friendly and people-friendly, be in good physical shape, and be up-to-date on their vaccinations. With patience, many dogs can be trained to do flyball, but the best prospects are those dogs with high drive, especially tug-drive (i.e., they love to play tug)!

 

Before flyball training starts, we ask that each interested beginner attend one or more of our practices *without your dog.* We'd like you to see what we do during our practices, and we can always use the extra help (flyball is very much a team sport!). Attending practice also provides a great opportunity to ask all those questions you have about Alaska's newest fast-paced dog sport!

 

From October-April, we normally practice on Sundays from 5-7 PM at an indoor training facility in Anchorage. From May-September, practices are most often Sunday mornings from 9:45-noon at an Anchorage ballfield.
