More Certificates and Ribbons

At last practice we handed out ribbons for NAFA titles for the first time!

We also congratulated two more SuperDogs: Maddie and Morgan who will begin practicing with the club members each week to begin their skills in passing other dogs.

And to top off the night, we awarded puppies for the first time ever, who completed the puppy program, with a Puppalicious Certificate. Congrats to Lucy and Keira! They are flying and once they are one-year old will begin jumping real hurdles!

Our club strives to create a fun environment for both the handler and the dog. If you have been thinking about lessons, there is no better time to start! We have many new students testing their skills at flyball: Eddie, Wolf, Dainan, Bean, Kelso, Bunker and Waylan! Come and join them and meet new friends!

To sign up for classes, simply SPEAK! Go back to the web site and click on SPEAK.

Welcome new students and Congrats to our SuperDogs

Please join me in welcoming Bean and Dainan to our Seattle FlyDogs Student lessons!

And We are celebrating Roxy's SuperDog Certificate this week!

Go FlyDogs!

Warm Thoughts for a Loss

It saddens me to learn and to announce that one of our very first students has suffered a great loss. Barkely's handler Davis (pictured left) and his father David (pictured below) came to the FlyDogs in 2009 when we first started our club. Barkley and Davis did very well as their father watched and cheered in support.


Last holiday season, an accident took David's life. Please send positive thoughts to his family this season. Our next practice will be in honor of David and his family. We will all miss you David.

News and Announcements

We are a little behind in our blogging. We have many new students and several who have learned to Fly! Our club went to its second NAFA tournament in December. We took two teams again: Tails on Rails and Four on the Floor - and many of the members came away with new titles. Willow, Ellie, Beebe, Benny all now have their NAFA Flyball Dog Excellent titles! It was this time last year when they all were taking classes and learning to be HotDogs!

New SuperDog! Kaiser - SuperDogs are running full runs and begin practicing with the club members to gain more experience passing dogs on an actual flyball course.
New HotDogs: Monica, Roxy, Maddie and Chelsea - HotDogs have all learned to go over the 8 jumps, retrieving the ball with excellent recall.
New Students: Keira, Lucy, Eddie and Wolf - they are learning to fly!

We move into our new location and begin our 2011 season on January 9th at Four Paw Sports in Lynnwood.
