Why do we do flyball demos? Not only is it an opportunity to introduce the sport to potential participants, it is an excellent way for us to safely introduce our "green" dogs to noisy, simulated tournament conditions. You will see handlers actively training during demos, something we are not allowed to do during competition.

When do we do demos?  Whenever we are asked and we have enough dogs available to run, which is not always the case. Demos are typically outside, due to the amount of space needed, which pretty much limits them to the dry months. Exceptions to this rule are the demos you see at events at the Portland Expo Center, where there is plenty of room but rubber matting is required for safe running.

How do you request a demo? Please email our demo coordinator. She can tell you what is needed for a safe and effective flyball demo, and will check with team members to see if we can participate in your event.
