Also, not to be missed is the Flyball Demo. Flyball is a competition sport, where dogs have to skip four hurdles without the help of their handler; press a trigger on the flyball box which ejects a ball the dog has to catch. Then they run with the ball over the hurdles back to the finish line. Cheer on your favorite doggie.
