Staff'n'Toller Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 (edited) Hi Everyone.... I run Puppy Pre-School courses, and I always plug Agility and Flyball as great dog sports to get into. Everyone gets a handout on each sport and webpage and contacts for them. Up until now I describe each sport and talk about it, but I'm not sure the people that have never seen it understand how much fun it really is. I have just secured a TV and VCR so that I can show some short video footage of each sport, I feel that will really get people motivated. So, would anyone be so kind to lend me some footage that they have of either sport? I would be sooooo appreciative. Also, if anyone has anything from the 'Great Outdoor Games' (ESPN) where they do the novelty Agility races, just jumpers or weavers that would be fantastic! I'm happy to pay postage, or send up videos/dvd's for copying, and return postage. Cheers, Mel. Edited March 29, 2006 by Staff'n'Toller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJack Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 (edited) There's a really good DVD that was done as a promotional thing for Flyball. it was all filmed at last year's Canberra Royal competition and shows all clubs and dogs of all sizes and shows how the people come from all walks of life. Very professionally done and it gives some good info on Flyball. Its from Penny Productions and Penny Hehir is the contact person. It only costs about $15 from memory. Excellent DVD. If you are interested I have her contact details at home, let me know. She made another one of the Kioloa competition the year before last. Also good.

ness Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 (edited) Hey Mel, My footage not working asking about . My brother has made an agility DVD if you want it. Can't remember what was on it. Else I have some of the runs (the good dogs) from the Adelaide Royal last year floating around the place. ETA Also have a nice long collection of canine freestyle from the pet expo - not Mary Ray standard but still.

whatevah Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I have video footage on my dogs competing in flyball and also on this website. Do you live anywhere near the Dandenong Ranges? http://youtube.com/watch?v=l7ckRNYkSaY (Moses) and (Josh)the ones I have on video at home are a lot longer.

PossumCorner Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 ... some footage that they have of either sport? ... There is a new (yet another) animal/pet show starting on TV tomorrow. Forget name of new show, it is on tomorrow (Saturday 1 April) 4.30pm, Channel 9. A feature segment was filmed at the Wonthaggi Show Flyball competition. Main reason for the segment is to show the relationship between Assistance Dogs and owners, and of course Wendy is a top flyball competitor with her great assistance dog. Don't know how much of the day's racing will be on the segment, but it should explain what flyball is about and show one of the top team competitors of the Croydon Rockets in action with some training component there I believe. Good viewing for anyone interested in flyball (or assistance dogs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purpley Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Ahhh Sparty, we were there yesterday. What a day, the weather was so silly. We missed out on having a go because it ended up pouring with rain. I am going to check out the Berwick club, as it is the closest to me that I could find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparty Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 (edited) lol maybe you should get a list of demo days and competitions for your preschoolers for them to go and hav a look, much more atmosphere than a video Edited April 2, 2006 by Sparty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumCorner Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 (edited) I am going to check out the Berwick club, as it is the closest to me that I could find. If in Dandenong Ranges area, Croydon Rockets could be your closest. Flyball beginners classes are at Croydon, Sunday mornings at Silcock Park. Then continuing training to join a team, and for team dogs, is Saturday mornings at Lilydale (or Wednesday evenings at Lilydale during daylight-saving). Rockets website is www.flyball.com/rockets - Edited April 2, 2006 by PossumCorner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purpley Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Oi you two get your own thread!! Oops sorry!! lol. Thanks for the info possum - we have obedience on sundays, which is a pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatevah Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Actually depending where you live in Dandy Ranges, the club at Berwick is actually located in Narre North, and is the closest to me, but I don't train there LOL. Croydon require that you do more obedience to do flyball than Berwick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
