I was told Perth Dog Training still has flyball equipment, although if they do it would be the old style box. WA had the first flyball team the K9 Flyers, so it's weird we're now the state without it :) .

When i was a member of the super dogs the flyball machines where part of pedigree & they where the big old clunkers

At one stage flyball training was started & i brought a flyball machine to train my dogs,i have since given it to a friend ,the machine was an old style & hard for the light weight dogs to use(mine where at that stage 6 or 8 kg).

The last i heard one of Melb top teams was going to come over & do a demo & get things rolling & help assist.i was laos under the impression Helena was doing training classes for it .

Im lucky if i want to start i have a personal trainer i can call on :)

oooh i didn't know you did the superdogs showdog - i probably watched you!! I remember school holidays if they were at my local shops i would walk down everyday to watch... the weims were hilarious cos they are just so clumsy...

I think it'd be great to see if they got it started again... i dont think i'd do it, Ari isn't ball crazy enough, but i would love to watch.

I was 14 yrs there youngest member with a mini schnauzer,although it was a very clicky group to get into.

:eek::clap: We (when I say we, I mean a group of people-not me personally!!) started a Fly ball group in Bunbury which while I went was fun. I took our first ridgy along to train, my friend took her BC and poodle I think? What fun - trying to teach a ridgy to run & jump: easy, jump on the box: easy, grab the ball: sort or easy, run back over the jumps with the ball in her mouth: FAIL :cry: ..............It was fun while it lasted!!

Im sure the lady(ies) that started it has Aussies?? And they may even still be around and showing in WA - they were a nice pair!

Guest RosieFT

Actually put up some jumps and did a bit of work with Rosie this evening. Seems the jumps are no problem.... but weaves.. arghhh have to look into how to best teach that one!

RubyStar - i am far from expert so am sure it will not help you, but my jumps are very basic but allow me to train some things. We put in a 10 plant hedge not long ago and so had a pile of medium sized pots, they have lovely grooves to hold poles when you turn them upside down :eek: . My husband made the kids a rudimentary seesaw some months ago and they seem to have stopped using it and he says he can make it into a dog one.. we will see! LOL But I am not going to get to the olympics with my training, just out to have some fun with my dog and hopefully get some focus from her :-)

Thanks RosieFT (eek I keep forgetting your real name! My bad :() The pot plants won't help me, my Labs are a bit bigger than a foxie hehe :eek:

Hey if your hubby ever feels like getting handy and making a few bob, can he make me a see saw too? :clap:

Will I see you down at agility tomorrow night? Please come and rescue me if you see me and I look lost and confused!!! :) The same goes for Amypie and ozjen, you guys, keep an eye out for me cos I am scared of signing up for new things!! :cry:

Midland Dog Training has beginners agility but your dog would have to be 12 months old because they don't have the puppy class like the ACWA. Midland has obedience Tuesdays and agility/dances with dogs Thursdays. :D
