UPPER HUTT DOG TRAINING CLUB
Flygility
Flygility is a relay-style race where dogs navigate a short agility course, retrieve a ball from a flyball box, and race back — all while competing side-by-side against another team in a parallel lane.
It’s a sport that rewards speed, accuracy, and teamwork, and is perfect for high-energy dogs who love to run, jump, and retrieve.
