As a team it means racing and trying to create the fastest teams we can, given the dogs we have. The 'Sixteen Second Club' is a place we want to be and that is our goal. We are very serious about our flyball. On the other hand, we like to travel and we like to have fun with our dogs and team mates.

Q: How far is too far? A: How good is the competition and how much will it inspire us to do better? Those are the questions we ask before we hit the road.

Most of us hold jobs to fund our doggie habits. The Steins are the lucky ones that get to play dogs twenty four hours a day. The rest of us do the best we can and love to spend the occasional weekend at Camp Stein in Vermont, enjoying the permanent agility and flyball equipment and the beautiful mountain views. The traveling to Tournaments and practices gives us a chance to spend time with each other. We all live at least an hour from one another and we really only see each other at those times.

Oh, the stories we can tell! Like:
