Flyball is loud. Barking. Gates slamming. Paws pounding turf.
Behind it all - pure skill.
In this episode, Nicole - a force-free flyball trainer and vet - breaks down how elite teams turn raw arousal into laser-focused speed and rock-solid safety, even under the pressure of Crufts.
What We Cover (Fast + Clear):
• How to fix box turns without frying your dog’s brain
• When food beats toys for technical flyball work
• Why the fixed nine-inch Crufts jump changes stride planning
• How to prep for loud crowds, benched halls, and high-energy lanes
• The real mechanics behind a 3.33-second singles run
• Rabbit-skin balls: useful tool or training trap?
• Why her team runs indoor-only on springy rubber for long-term safety
• How to know when a dog needs to retire—even if they love to run
New to Flyball?
We map out UKFL, BFA, and the new outdoor-only league, plus exactly what to look for in a great team: their training choices, warm-ups, cooldowns, and culture.
If you care about speed, kindness, and teamwork, this conversation gives you practical takeaways you can use in your next session.
