When do you start a box turns with your puppy? I have heard everything from you can start light hit its at 5-6 months to you shouldn't do any until they are 12-14 months. I was just interested to see when other flyball people start with their puppies.

Flyball Box Work

Thanks. No, usually she won't spit the ball out. I think it was just a one time thing because she never spits it early. -

Ok, she is catching the ball and doing good now. Is there anything else I need to change? -

Ok, I will do that. I am adding the ball in now and she is doing good, it's just slower. Will it speed up in time, as she gets used to it? -
Puppy Flyball Training
freedomflyersflyball replied to freedomflyersflyball's topic in Obedience, Agility, and Flyball
We have got pups from about 5 different breeders. Also, some of our friends who have Dachshunds have purchased pups from 3 breeders and they are released them at 6 weeks. I guy I know through flyball has a dog who was released at 5 weeks. And one of our labs was released at 5 1/2 weeks. Trust me, I am very open to learning all I can and listening to EVERYTHING that EVERYONE has to say. I am not trying to argue or try and tell someone what is right, I am open to hearing what everyone has to say and learning all I can! :-) I have been trying to read up on their socialization periods.

Flyball Box Work

Just wanted to leave a update on how my BC was doing in flyball. Here is a video of her hitting the box with no ball. I have just started adding the ball to the box every time today and she is doing pretty good. I will try and post a video soon. I am new to flyball and just want to make sure this looks ok. Does she need to be any higher on the box? I have seen some videos on youtube were people have a really high prop. Thanks! Ashley -
Puppy Flyball Training
freedomflyersflyball replied to freedomflyersflyball's topic in Obedience, Agility, and Flyball
I still don't see how this is a "red flag". All of the pups we have ever got from anyone have always come home at 6 weeks. Also, other people I know, they got their dog at 6 weeks. -
I was wondering if anyone had some good flyball training tips for puppies? I know you can't do any real training until they are older, but what are some things you can to to help their give them a good start? This is for my BC pup that I am getting Saturday, she is six weeks old. I know playing a lot of tug and trading games are good... is their anything else? Thanks! Ashley

I don't mean as good as her sister in flyball. I mean with her ability to work for me.

The breeder has a disability and doesn't do as much as she use to; but she still takes them to someone she knows and they are the goose control dogs. I think she also takes them to a friends house who has livestock and her friend works them.
