kb13733 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I want to start my BC on flyball but I don't know where to buy equipment and what equipment to get. And what are some beginner training techniques I can use with my dog? So far he responds well to a clicker and treats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rave Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I would suggest finding a team in your area instead of trying to do it on your own. Where do you live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullet87 Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 I also would suggest finding a team in your area. Not only for the training aspect and all the great help that you will find in a team, but flyball equipment is extremely expensive! When I left my team they had just purchased a new hi-tech box and it cost well over $600! Plus the sets of jumps are close to $200... A team would really be an ideal place to start. I would check out the NAFA or U-FLI websites to find a team. http://www.flyball.org/ http://www.u-fli.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Nichols Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I agree with the other recommendations to contact a local team. We had a photographer at our tournament this past weekend from Salt Lake City. He does flyball and has a web page. I think someone gave you that referral in your other post. This link has some flyball equipment manufacturers. For some basics on how to get started, check out these resources: Spring Loaded flyball training video series Flyball training links NAFA Training Forum (check out the archive section) Good luck!
