Here are a couple of pictures from Jaeger's flyball tournament this weekend. I love his box turn.
So many dogs do not keep their box turn, especially in competition; and an improper turn is the number one cause of injury in flyball.
Somehow Jaeger manages to get all 70lbs of his butt on the box at the same time. Our poor boxloader.

Thanks.
Jaeger absolutely loves to work. He has his first agility trial coming up next weekend. I'm so nervous.

BTW, he is currently the #27 ranked APBT in flyball, with the North American Flyball Association (NAFA).

Flyball is when you have 2 teams of dogs that have to run, jump some hurdles, hit a springboard(?), grabs the ball then runs back jumping the hurdles once more, once it crosses the line the next dog is released and it goes til the last dog crosses.

I don't know to much about flyball so Ultimatek9 can probably explain it in more detail and better.

Great pix, thanks for sharing! I'm hoping to be able to do agility with Java once I get my own equipment. I do it with my mutt and he loves it :-) I always love seeing pitbull types at the agility trials!

That is pretty much the basics. Here is a video from our team's last flyball tournament. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98gnI2d5ugs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98gnI2d5ugs) It is easier to see then explain.
