Hyper Hounds Dog Training
Specialty Classes
Flyball is a relay race run at top speed with four dogs to a team. The first dog on the team runs down a line of four jumps, triggers a box to release a ball, the dog catches the ball and then runs back down the line of jumps to the start. The next dog on the team then runs the sequence until all four dogs have completed the race. The fastest team wins.
This class is for all levels. Dogs that have never played the sport before or those that have completed flyball classes can all attend.
Dogs should have basic obedience skills and have no reactivity or aggression issues towards dogs or people to attend.
For dogs that have completed the level 1 class and have instructor permission to move to level 2.

Dog parkour combines elements of human parkour and dog agility to create an accessible activity for dogs and humans alike. Dogs get introduced to the world of jumping, climbing, balancing over, crawling under, and going around different obstacles in their everyday world. Dog parkour helps with confidence and overcoming fears, and it is a low impact but challenging activity for any canine.
The single session classes are for dogs of all ages and levels. We will be following the International Dog Parkour Association guidelines and practises. Students can work towards acquiring titles through the IDPA.
A harness is a required to participate in these sessions as recommended by the IDPA.

Skills you’ll learn in this class include food and toy control games, impulse control and release words, start line behaviour, teaching your dog to actively engage with you in any environment and more. Not only are these skills helpful for a cooperative working relationship for any dog sport, they aid in impulse control when teaching agility contacts, Rally-O or Obedience stays, and more.
