Thoughts on Flyball.

[Jackie467]

Hi I wanted to see what everyone thinks of flyball. I have some extra time and was thinking that it would be well spent on an activity with Candi. I was thinking of flyball or agility. I think i'm leaning towards flyball, i'm quite shy and have stage fright and i know that the handler is a big part of agility. Plus flyball looks like a lot of fun for the dogs, Candi's fav. things are running, jumping and playing fetch, perfect combo for flyball right. She is a year old and please don't judge but has not gone to obediance classes, though she does know all her comands. I have never gone to an obediance class and always trained my dogs myself with the help of my stepdad who trained his show dogs (so he had some clue what he was doing though he doesn't show any longer). But the first step would be signing her up for obediance classes which is no prob for me. I wanted to know if anyone on the board does flyball? What kind of costs does this entail, I mean I can afford classes and such but being a student nothing thats going to run into the thousands immedately, would have to be spread out over time. If anyone has any ideas on wheather this is a good activity let me know.
Just FYI Candi is one of the fastest dogs I have ever seen, she easily out runs our other dog and the neabiors dogs, not to mention is like the energizer bunny and just keeps going and going and going... She is definatly a high energy dog.
