Last week, Crazy Train Flyball celebrated 10 years of racing, teamwork, chaos, fun, and love. Ten years of training dogs and their handlers, cheering until our voices were gone, and building friendships at every practice, tournament, and road trip.
To celebrate both our anniversary and the holidays, we came together at the Crazy Train Team Headquarters (aka Nicole’s house). Nicole outdid herself, hosting and organizing an incredible breakfast catered by Over Easy. The food was delicious, as were the mimosas, coffee, and homemade chai.
During breakfast, we took time to reflect and look forward. Each team member shared their goals for the 2026 racing year. Our goals included new dogs entering the lanes, individuals perfecting a specific skill, and a handler working on something new. For each goal, we discussed how we want to show up and support one another as a team. Sharing these goals will help us grow and ensure we are all stepping in to help one another meet those goals.
Emma went above and beyond in creating and printing personalized team awards for both our members and our dogs. Each award was thoughtful, heartfelt, and perfectly captured what makes each person and dog special. There were laughs, a few emotional moments, and lots of appreciation.
No Crazy Train celebration would be complete without our annual White Elephant gift exchange. As expected, it delivered nonstop laughter and chaos.
Ten years ago, Crazy Train Flyball started as an idea. Today, it is a team built on support, dedication, humor, fun, and love for each other and our dogs.
