About
Flyball races match two teams of four dogs each, racing side-by-side over a course. Each dog must run in relay fashion down the jumps, trigger a flyball box, releasing the ball, retrieve the ball, and return over the jumps. The next dog is released to run the course but can't cross the start/finish line until the previous dog has returned over all 4 jumps and reached the start/finish line. The first team to have all 4 dogs finish the course without error wins the heat. In real one dog cannot compete in flyball, but in petz we had to do it a little bit different. Flyball trials can be for just one dog or a team of dogz. The judge tells you how they want it.
