dude you videos are awesome, not sure how you don't have more recognition in the canine world. I have bc called daisy, smooth coat too and your tips are extremely valuable. A lot of the things you talk about, i have experienced with my girl. I like how you explain your thought's and your awareness towards luna, Luna is a beauty of dog :D
Thanks for this. I was looking to get a frisbee that flies and is soft) durable. I had one before from Amazon. But that seller disappeared. I think it was something like the Hyperfiite Jawz. We'll see.
Thanks! I've been hesitating to make the purchase, but if there's interest in these videos, I may go for it. It's fun to have these memories of my adventures with Luna recorded.
cheers mate, really enjoyed this and great to meet Luna 🙂 I had no idea that those fuel cylinders froze up like that and have never had anything like that happen on my trips even in winter down to -5C or so her. But then again, you're in a way colder part of the world! Good luck with Luna's Adventures, look forward to watching along, subscribed 🇺🇸🇦🇺✌🏻
I tested it out when I got home and it was working normally again. It's really the butane mixes that don't fair well in such low temperatures. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Thanks! Yes, she has a great time out there. She got cold once or twice when I was stuck on my back, struggling to get back on my feet, but overall, she did fine and it was a great adventure!
@@bowieupland6112 I encourage you to research border collies and their ability to handle mild winter temperatures. Keep in mind that I had the appropriate gear for her, including a sleeping bag, portable shelter and other supplies if I needed to bivouac. If you have valid evidence to prove I endangered her in any way, I'd be happy to review your information, but I have thoroughly researched border collies, safety and dog training. I also get advice from professionals.
@@lunadiscgolfdog The only "valid evidence" necessary, is common sense. You yourself said that she could have ran off and confronted a predator, or gotten lost in the dark. Like I said, unnecessary risk of a beautiful dog.
@@bowieupland6112I think you're underestimating the heartiness and intelligence of border collies. She's fully capable of handling this mild winter weather or any wild animals in Vermont. But thanks for watching and commenting.
I dont understand why people love those new style plastic snow shoes ..they not perfom well at all in deep snow..when i grow up we use babish traditional snow shoes we had them for years never had a problem with them and they do their job in deep snow..
I got them as a gift and I used them because they were free. But I don't recommend them. I would much rather, at the very least, nylon straps and metal clips. Thanks for watching!
I knew to training dogs and playing frisbees with dogs. I have a 1 year black lab retriever and he's learning to catch frisbees. His catch rate isn't very consistent though. Does that get better with time?
I started by having her grab the disc in my hand. The second step is to throw properly with a lot of spin so it floats down. And yes, I worked with labs in my youth and they can get very good at catching with lots of practice and proper throwing techniques. Both dog and human have jobs to do! Sorry for the very late reply. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I would love it if you could elaborate on how you trained her to leave wildlife alone. This is one of the biggest struggles I have with my dog.
What breeds are Luna and Alpha? So cool what you can do with your dog. I just started to teach my dog to catch frisbees, but she will catch only about 1/3 of the frisbees (I also still have to learn to throw). My dog is a Plotthound tho, not really a "Sport dog", and notoriously hard to train also. We just do it a bit for fun as she isn't really that toy driven and will fetch balls only 3-4 times and not for fun, but more as work. She does however like to chase and catch a frisbee much more.
Alpha is a border collie/Aussie mix and Luna is pure border collie with working dog lineage. She's not a show dog or bred for quieter home life. She's bred to work. So I give her Frisbee jobs.
Thanks for a great video and comments regarding plastic waste. We just started throwing discs to our new pup because of her intensity and focus when tracking down and catch well-thrown discs. Shea is now 6 months old, this has been going on since she was 2 months old. She is named after Shea Stadium after her tremondous infinity to catch balls. I could have named her Willie after Willie Mays due to her catches. An amazing dog, irish setter/miniature poole mix. We are now testing the Hyperflite K-10 and JawZ and are finding what your video explains. Shea is signed up for the Skyhounds fun event in Wrightsville Beach, NC in Oct. Thanks again for a great video.
That’s great I love this video I happened to choose the hyperflite jaws years ago for my German shepherd lab mix and she absolutely loves it. She’s got a very strong bite and I’ve had the same frisbee for over a year with no punctures!
There's a guy in San Antonio that has his small cattle dog retrieving his discs on the course. It jumps in front of him and releases the discs over his hands. It's awesome.
