It can take several months to a year to train a reliable flyball dog.  Once a dog has learned all the elements of a flyball run, regular practice is required to maintin and improve their skills.

Criteria

Dogs must be in good physical condition.

An up-to-date vaccination certificate must be provided prior to the training session.

To be eligible for the COKC High Flyers Flyball Team and compete in tournaments, you must become a COKC member and meet the criteria for the flyball team.

Tournaments are competitive and are also social events.  They are held several times a year across the region.  The tournaments usually run over 2 days.
