Help Wanted
The new temporary location for Precision Flyball Training is being setup next week!! I need any and all help - lifting/unrolling mats or taping them will be the big ones. I was going to start unloading what I can Monday and aim to be done by Wednesday lunch for classes starting Wednesday night. Let me know if you can help! Video of the โhelpโ that isnโt very helpful ๐
After meeting PF followers in person, I was overjoyed that you all love seeing the training aspects in the videos I share. So this video will be less short and flashy and longer/informative. Let me know if you have a jump skipper and this gives you any ideas!!
Flitwick is an adult dog that had ever piece of Flyball except jump commitment. He would skip jumps going to the box, and most often skip them coming back over jump 5 after his turn. For two months before his B&T his owner worked on my jump commitment series. With the cue and understanding of taking a jump, I could make a consistent plan.
Flitwick gets a โReady, Jumpโ to go into the jumps. After landing from the box he gets a โJumpโ reminder and a clicker โclickโ landing after jump 5 with a โYesโ and lowering of hand to know he needs to come get his good boy meatball. We also drilled jumping every jump down and back each time we loaded the ball - he was taking jumps in his sleep Iโm certain. Consistency is SO crucial for connecting these dots.
We proofed releasing from way off center and rewarding off to the side. His owner said heโs made so much progress and has almost perfect sessions. I canโt wait to cheer for him in the lanes!!

Sharing a Huzzah (now 15 months) update. And for those that wanted to see her footage. Itโs been a STRUGGLE to work on not crossing at the box. Then itโs been a struggle to not spin/return after jump 4. Slow progression and returning back to the basics again and again has paid off. First time driving ahead AND first time I was brave enough to remove the barriers in the middle. She was running for cookies to ensure she brought her ball to hand. Good job baby Huzzah!!
Blazing Box Turn
I didnโt know a .23 second box turn was possible?!? Who else is running this snappy?!?
Bolt Board & Train
Bolt made an ASTOUNDING amount of progress in two weeks. Another foundations student who polished off his Flyball pattern quickly. To keep the video spicy, not seen is the terrific focus work Bolt does between reps staying with Mary. Itโs so hard when you want to be best friends with EVERYONE!! Watch till the end to see this boy really turn on the afterburners when racing.
Junior Handlers
You never know if James will boxload as the Mandalorian or William will let his heart out on his sleeve. Switick boys keep it spicy. Enjoy these laughs.
Raya spent a few days learning how to Push with the rear not Pull with the front into the box. Rear leg muscles are larger and stronger than the front legs, so it is best for box turn maintenance and endurance over a Flyball weekend to use a strong rear push into the box. We troubleshooted some different ways that worked for Raya to encourage consistent pushing with the rear into the box. Stick around for that last rep which was ๐ฅ Raya went home with fitness exercises to make sure she can maintain/encourage this form.
