The simple answer is: We have fun with each other and our dogs. Our goal is to help each dog/handler team compete to the best of their ability utilizing positive reinforcement training methods in a safe and friendly environment. We subscribe to the theory that it takes a village to train a dog and each of us provides support and encouragement for both their human and canine teammates. Whether you

are new to the world of dogs sports or an experienced competitor, we look forward to meeting you and your dog! Our History

In 2005, a small dedicated group of experienced and novice competitors came together to form a flyball team with the purpose of competing with good sportsmanship and teamwork. Calling ourselves RF Revolution Flyball, the team competed in NAFA and U-FLI tournaments throughout West Coast, received an invitation to the U-FLI nationals and competed in the 2007 NAFA National Championships. It became apparent, however, that we shared a mutual enjoyment in other sports as well. The flyball team was not only attending dock jumping competitions, obedience trials and earthdog tests en masse but offering training opportunities to the community in those sports as well! About Liz

As a trainer, judge and competitor, I am committed to safe and fun competition at all levels while promotion exceptional sportsmanship, teamwork and responsible dog ownership. My passion is the special relationship between human and canine developed through the exciting world of dog sports. Utilizing positive reinforcement methods and focusing on relationship building, over the past 10 years our amazing teams have competed at all levels of dog sports such as agility, barn hunt, dock jumping, obedience, rally, flyball, earthdog, trailing and locating, nosework, lure coursing and so much more. My goal is to see each team achieve their goals with joy, whether it be enjoying a Pupaccino together at Starbucks or competing at the national level in Barn Hunt. I am a professional member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers and AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator as well as a multi-sport judge.

Saturdays are for learning at Revolution Dog Sports!

We were thrilled to welcome Beth Williams for not one, but two incredible workshops today: Super Seniors and Stretching and Strengthening for Success.

Both sessions were packed with valuable information, practical exercises, and plenty of hands-on learning. Beth’s ability to connect with both dogs and handlers is truly exceptional—her instruction was clear, thoughtful, and engaging from start to finish.

A huge thank you to all of our wonderful attendees! Your enthusiasm, curiosity, and dedication to your dogs made for a fantastic day of learning and growth. We love seeing our community come together to build new skills, deepen partnerships, and support each other on the journey.

We’re already looking forward to hosting Beth again for future workshops—both for our broader community and specifically for staff development.

If you missed out on today's sessions, we highly encourage you to join us next time. Beth is a phenomenal educator, and her workshops are a must for anyone looking to support their dog’s health, fitness, and well-being.

Thank you again to Beth and to everyone who joined us today—we’re so grateful to share this space with you!

🔥 Wag & Workouts: Weekly Inspiration! 🔥
Let's Talk: The Flirt Pole!

This week, we’re diving into one of our favorite tools for fun, fitness, and focus — the flirt pole!

Think of it as a giant cat toy for dogs — a pole or stick with a rope and lure at the end — and it's a game-changer for both high-energy dogs and couch potatoes needing a boost.

💥 Why We Love the Flirt Pole:
🐾 Burns energy fast – Just a few minutes of play can equal a long walk!
🧠 Builds impulse control – Your dog learns to wait, chase, stop, and drop on cue.
🏃‍♀️ Great indoor or small-yard workout – Perfect when you’re short on space or time.
💪 Strengthens muscle tone and coordination
🎯 Grows toy play skills – A fantastic way to build interest in tug, retrieve, and interactive play!
🫶 Deepens your connection through structured play

⚠️ Pro Tip:
• Always warm up your dog first and play on soft footing.
• Avoid fast changes of direction that cause your dog to pivot so quickly they fall, roll, or place too much stress on joints.
• End sessions with a cool-down and some water.

📍 No flirt pole at home? No problem!
Flirt poles are available for use in the gym at Revolution Dog Sports — just ask and we’ll help you get started!

This week, dust off your flirt pole (or try one at the gym!) and show us your dog's moves! 💃🐕

When you're a sighthound, it’s not just about seeing the quarry—it’s about chasing it, too. ⚡️

Volt the Saluki just had his second session in rat sports, and he's quickly learning the game. If he finds the rat in the tube? Boom—reinforcement appears in the form of a quarry cage! That means he gets to chase, and that’s a big deal for a sighthound brain.

Volt is having a blast and showing us just how smart and driven he is. We love seeing him grow in confidence and clarity every session!

🌾 Jim Bob loves a good field trip and a romp through the fields with his besties when he comes to camp! But when the weather doesn’t cooperate, JB knows how to make the most of it. ☀️🌧️

This week, he hit the slat mill and ran flat out with that signature JB enthusiasm before settling in for some structured fun. Pattern games like Up & Down help build offered focus while also bringing down that high-energy arousal. 🐾💨

Way to go, Jim Bob — making every day count, rain or shine!

🔥 Wag & Workouts: Weekly Inspiration! 🔥
Let’s Talk: Cavalettis!

This week we’re spotlighting one of the best tools for balance, coordination, and mental focus — cavalettis!

Cavalettis are low, evenly spaced rails or poles that your dog steps over in a controlled, rhythmic way. They’re like a mini agility exercise, perfect for dogs of all ages and fitness levels.

💥 Why We Love Cavalettis:
🐾 Builds coordination & body awareness
🧠 Encourages focus & mindfulness
💪 Strengthens muscles and joints gently
🏃‍♂️ Improves stride length & flexibility
🦴 Great for rehab or warm-ups
🫶 Boosts confidence through positive, achievable challenges

⚠️ Pro Tip:
• Start with poles low to the ground and increase height gradually.
• Keep sessions short and fun — quality over quantity!
• Use treats and praise to encourage smooth, controlled steps.

📍 No cavalettis at home? No worries! We have them set up and ready for you in the Revolution Dog Sports gym — come try them out!

Ready to add some rhythm and grace to your dog’s workout? Show us your cavaletti skills! 🎬🐕
