The display from the Odyssey Flyball Club proved one of the delights of the Goodwoof arena at the Goodwood Estate in Sussex a few weeks back.

Flyballer handler Hilary Larkham explains to Dogs with Jobs presenter Kate Fairweather what flyball is all about, how it came to the UK, and why precision timing is just as important as speed in this high octane, four dog relay race.

Although you can see flyball at Crufts every year, this emerging, wildly exciting relay race over obstacles is not as well known as it deserves to be in the UK. We hope to bring you a longer version, but this is a great taster. 

Other interviews recorded at Goodwoof 2024: 

• Ninja, the Barkour dog, who travels around Europe practising the noble art of parkour, or freerunning;
• Police Dog Meika, who searches for criminals cash, drugs and firearms with the London Metropolitan Police
