This piece of equipment is used in the Dog-Game Touch. It has been developed by Modern Dog Sports, who are experts in the manufacture of flyball boxes and export them all over the world. They pride themselves on using the most hard-wearing and safe materials (such as deep cushioning behind the rubber touch mat) and adapting their products to suit their customer's needs. An optional extra is the "ball holder bar" which clips to the front of the target box, allowing the ball holder to be raised or lowered to suit the dog's size. One or two holes are cut into the bar so that a tennis ball can rest in the cup for the dog to run and pick out of the hole. As you can see it looks very similar to an International Flyball box but does not have the expensive trigger mechanism.

The target box has been designed so that it can be folded flat for easy carrying and storage, and has a variety of settings and adjustments so that the angle of the ramp can be raised or lowered to suit every dogs requirements.

Be warned - once a dog has had the unsettling experience of a target box moving underneath it, it will be very reluctant to put it's weight against it in the future. Therefore, in the interests of dog safety and to stop the box moving when in use, the box must either be staked down using heavy-duty iron pegs (which can either be bought from Modern Dog Sports, or have some made at your local blacksmiths), or always have an adult standing on the foot plate behind the ramp.

Iron Pegs - suggested dimensions
either 12" long + 3" bent over (30cm, 8cm)
or 9" long + 3" bent over (23cm, 8cm)
