i am so delighted with your flyball box! YOU are just amazing! i hope to follow your instructions soon and make one for my Victor..he thanks you again and again for sharing all that you learn with us.

 

[shyeow2]

oh.. haha, i just play for fun, we still cant get 8 dogs for tournament..
my box a little bit out dated, i guess 2 holes the best for starting out, so that they can learn the swimmer turn..

Shirley - could I ask you for the plans for the box you built? I'd love to give it a try too, and yours looks a lot simpler than the plan I have...

Yeah, your box looks really good. I'm interested in starting Flyball with my dog, but all the premade boxes we find are too expensive. We wouldn't mind making our own, but we want something promising. About how much did all the materials cost?

 

[shyeow2]

Hi all,
u can find the flyball box structure plan at http://www.peonythestormrider.blogspot.com

cost will depends what material you use for the mechanism.

hope some of you may get yourself into flyball sport very soon. cheers

Hi Shirley

I've just started flyball training with my ACD - tonight was our third lesson. She's learning very quickly, and we're both having a great time. I'm going to sweet talk my hubby into making me a box and some jumps so we can play at home
