Where Champions Are Made
Australia's premier Flyball event - coming to Bendigo
About the Event
Flyball is a fast-paced relay race for dogs and their handlers. Teams of four dogs race over a line of hurdles to a Flyball box, retrieve a ball, and race back - the fastest team wins. It's thrilling to watch and even more fun to compete in!
Nationals 2026 combines regular and open class racing across both days, with two indoor rings running simultaneously. Pure, focused Flyball competition from start to finish.
T-Keilor is the Flyball branch of Keilor Obedience Dog Training Centre - one of Victoria's original Flyball clubs, active since 1996 and co-founders of the first Victorian Flyball intro event in 1997.
