Norwest Thunderdogs

Norwest Thunderdogs The Norwest Thunderdogs Flyball Dog Training Club in NSW, Australia. It consists of a relay race between two teams of four dogs.

Flyball is a canine team sport which is founded on the activities that dogs love to do – run, jump, fetch, and retrieve. Each dog must jump over four hurdles, retrieve a ball by triggering a flyball box and then return over the hurdles to the start/finish line. The team that has the fastest time with the least amount of errors wins that race. The Norwest Thunderdogs Flyball Club was founded in 200

4 and is now one of the largest Flyball clubs in Australia. The club has enjoyed many successes including almost 20 National Championship Titles and is home to some of the fastest Flyball dogs in Australia. In fact, the Norwest Thunderdogs currently hold the Australia record for the fastest time of 15.987 seconds - beating 11 previous records since 2007, also held by the Thunderdogs. The Norwest Thunderdogs Flyball Club train at Castle Hill every Tuesday and take a limited amount of beginners each year. Almost every dog can be trained in Flyball and it takes on average 12 months to train a dog to competition level. The Norwest Thunderdogs are proud to use positive reinforcement training techniques and use treats and toys to train our dogs.

Norwest Thunderdogs Flyball Club will be hitting the lanes on 6–7th of June at the annual Chills in the Hills & More Chills in the Hills race meeting at Castle Hill Showground Undercover Arena.

Represented by four competitive teams, Norwest, as host club, will be busy running, box loading, stewarding, captaining, ball sh****ng and helping keep the event running smoothly all weekend. Without the dedication and teamwork of our members, competitions like this simply couldn't happen.

Thank you all for your support and hard work.
We wish our seasoned racing dogs and handlers great starts, fast times and tight passes; our P-plate dogs continued improvement and growing confidence on the track; and our learner dogs positive experiences as they discover what it means to be part of a Thunderdogs team in a competition environment.

Run Fast. Run Clean.
But most importantly, have fun and enjoy the weekend!
