Dog game?
Does anyone know what that game is for dogs that involves agility, obstacles, and a pedal tat the dog steps on to flip a ball into the air? It would be really helpful if I just knew the name of that game.

It's called Flyball. My Aussie is training in Flyball right now, and it's a really great sport. Basically, the dog has to run at top speeds and jump over four to six jumps in a straight line, grab a tennis ball, then turn around and jump back over the hurdles to give the ball to their owner. All of this must be done at top speeds. The winner is judged by how fast the dog can complete the race.

My Miniature Pinscher and Border Collie both participate in this game. It's called Flyball.
It's an agility type relay race.
You have two courses set up next to each other, one for each relay team.
Each team consists of four dogs. One is always a "height dog". They want this dog to be as small as possible because the height of the hurdles is set four inches below the withers of the height dog.
In the race, the dogs go one by one, they have to jump the four hurdles places 10 feet apart, then at the end is a loaded spring box that releases a tennis ball into the dogs mouth when stepped on. Then they carry the ball back over the four hurdles, and after that dog clears the last hurdle, the next dog goes, and so forth, until all four dogs have finished. The first team with all four dogs finished wins.
There's technicalities as stuff as to what counts and what doesnt, but basically those are the rules. Google it for more information.
