Ulti-Mutts
Flyball
Teams
The Ulti-Mutts were created
by Mad City Dog Training in the Spring of 2000. Flyball is a fun sport that
utilizes many of the skills that are taught in our Obedience, & Agility
classes. Four dogs make-up a relay racing team that involves: jumping over a
series of 4 jumps; hitting a box to release a tennis ball; catching the ball;
and returning over the 4 jumps; at which point the next dog starts the jump
sequence. It is a great activity for those athletic dogs with a naturally strong
drive for retrieving tennis balls. The Ulti-Mutts compete in both NAFA (North
American Flyball Association) and U-Fli (United Flyball League Internationial)
sponsered events.
We offer a beginning and
an intermediate class in Flyball. After successful completion of the classes,
the dog can join the team and participate in Tournaments. There are over 30
tournaments per year, that are with in a reasonable driving distance from
Madison, located in northern Illinois, the Minneapolis area, and
Wisconsin.
Our 15,000 square foot
training facility provides the ultimate in accommodations for the Ulti-Mutts.
The practice rooms are fully matted with 3/4 inch solid rubber. The racing lanes
are arranged to provide a total running length of 160 feet. An adjacent room
provides 3,000 square feet of crating space. The entire facility is fully heated
and air conditioned.
NAFA SANCTIONED
TOURNAMENTS AT MAD CITY DOG TRAINING
The Ulti-Mutts hosted their first two (2) NAFA Sanctioned Flyball Tournaments
on March 9th &
10th, 2002 at the Mad City Dog Training Center. The Madison
March Madness tournament was limited to 24
teams per day. We co-hosted, with Hit Squad from Illinois, an unlimited
tournament at the Dane County Fair on July 19,20, & 21, 2002. Our first annual Fall
Flyball Tournament was held November 30 &
December 1, 2002.
In 2003, the Ulti-Mutts
once again hosted the annual Madison March Madness
and in December the Ulti-Mutt Winter Games.
These were both a huge success and all teams participating had a rockin' good
time.
Our third annual Madison
March Madness tournament will be held on March 6 & 7,
2004.
Spectators are welcome. No admission fee. Stop by and watch some fast paced dog
team racing. Feel the excitement and enthusiasm of the dogs in Flyball
competition.
