Just worked out how long it will take me to get to huntley from chalford, about 40 mins.

So doesn't look like i will make it, sundays are bad as we are away in the summer.

My daughter starts playgroup in the mornings soon 9.30 till 12.30 so it will be way too much of a rush to get there and back. sShame but i don't want to be rushing every where.

I've been doing flyball for just under a year now with my small munsterlander. Currently train up in the west midlands with Keresley, but hopefully moving down to gloucestershire towards the end of the year so will be looking for a team to move to.

Read about Dean-dynamos on the BFA site. Biggest problem is fitting everything in. Also do agility with the munsterlander and have a young bavarian mountain hound who will also start agility training in the next couple of months.

awww, i would love to do flyball with Cocoa, my collie but she it TOO obsessive with balls..To the extent that I have had to ban ball games, which makes me sad

She's not aggressive she just wont give them back and will run away, so all my recall training goes back to zero.....

I would love to try agility with her though, but for a collie she is very clumsy!!!!

I did flyball with my 2 dogs for years, it completely took over my life and i loved it as much as they did! We had to give up as both mine developed arthritis but we do miss it!

Hi, Kate, I have a collie and have been thinking about doing fly ball with her, she very ball orientated! but have never been able to find a club locally.

we are in stroud, so the other side of gloucester.

will go and have a look at the website.

I could train on a tuesday but i have my 2 yr old daughter to watch too. Sundays are ok in the winter, but we are away lots camping in the summer.
