Flyball
 

My neice competes at Flyball with Tawny's sister, a lab. I pick up out shooting with Tawny.Chatting to neice last night and she was saying how they rev to dogs up, using a tug, prior to their run. She said Bella then got very keen and hard to hold, and asked how I held Tawny when we were out shooting. Why do they need revving? Is it because the run time is so short and setting off adrenalined up makes them faster? I really admire it as a sport and am really impressed at the drive and commitment of the dogs - and how much they love it - but thinking how fast Tawny sets off on a retrieve I don't understand the ragging before hand.
