Costs for flyball training?
Some people may ask what it costs to do flyball.
My answer is... there is no definitive answer... because many factors have to be taken into account as well as the basic training costs. Get your pet well insured, make sure it travels in comfort... and safely. If sessions are held at a long distance from home packed meals and drinks for both you and your dog will save on the expense!
Another way to look at the expense is to consider the damage a bored dog can do!
To find out actual costs of registration and sessions I can only recommend two ideas...
1) Look at Dog Agility Training ... which has price guides for Agility, surely flyball costs should be vaguely similar!
2) Check our previous post [of the 2nd March] which includes links to National Flyball Associations, where you will find loads of useful information, including links to some clubs. Once you find a club which you want further information on, you can just click their link, see what info they provide, and contact them for any further infornmation you may require.
[You will also find links to National Kennel Clubs within the same post.]
One further word of warning... clubs only take on obedient dogs... so why not try one of our recommended training courses to brush up on obedience before you apply... see our left-hand margin. They are simply the best of the best!
