    congrats from another flyballer!

    Bc_mom-flyball shoots are FOR training turns, they are basicly a board that is typcally wider then a normal box to the purpose of teaching 4 feet on the box, they are also designed to have a ball simply sit on the shoot so that the dog aso learnes to take the ball with 4 feet on the box, as opposed to have it flying everywhere as they learn and possably having them go "heeeeyyyy!! if I dont catch it I get to chase it!" lol. only some clubs actually use shoots, some only use them for certain dogs etc..

    Ah, I see. So it's a whole different kind of box.

    Here are a couple pictures I found of one online...

    Though I have to say, this one appears to be much larger than the one my girls are being trained on... the one the club I am going to uses isn't much, if any, different in size than the flyball box.... and its built somewhat differently than this one that I found pics of.. but you can get the idea..

    If you're gonna breed Collies, don't you forget to breed in the brains and common sense. Without that you won't have a Collie, you'll have just another dog.
