My almost eight month puppy Poncho is a pitbull boxer blue heeler mix. Hopefully he has fun doing this, he doesn't seem like one to jump. I won't make him jump until he's ten-eleven months though. I want that bone in his legs to form correctly
Hello! I have a 6 month old Border Collie and I am trying to teach him to catch a frisbee. He is good at catching it in mid air when it is thrown to him but when I try to throw it away from him so that he can chase it, he waits until the frisbee hits the ground to get it. How can I encourage him to chase the frisbee while it is still in the air?
great video, my only question is over how much time do I give this process to work? I can't imagine this happening in a few days so I'm curious as to what to expect time wise.
well I'll be damned! I actually pulled this off in 30 mins after a 30 min session of fetch with tennis balls. She had never seen a Frisbee before it adapted very quickly. Already got her chasing the Frisbee and bringing it back to me. Next, by a better quality Frisbee because she kind of wrecked this one🤭
That's a great step-by-step guide on the best way to turn any dog into a Frisbee Dog. Nice job. In my experience, if a dog has the right prey drive to fetch a tennis ball, it'll chase and catch a frisbee. I did notice the disc you're using is too big for any of the competition organizations. Try using a smaller, authorized disc which are described here: tossandfetch.com/how-to-select-competition-discs-for-your-frisbee-dog-update/
Thank you for the comment, right now i use- www.amazon.com/Hyperflite-K-10-Competition-Standard-multi/dp/B002SVTLCM/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=standard+frisbee+dog&qid=1554737740&s=gateway&sr=8-1
I think it's simple recall training. Once the dog caught the frisbee you call them. If your recall is good the dog should bring it back to you (that's my take on it at least)
My dog does all 5. I'm having trouble getting her to catch in the air. She is half German Sheppard and waiting on dna possible half greyhound. She over runs it. I throw too hard she wont fetch it.
try throwing it short at first and as long as the dog catches it in the air, it's a catch they don't have to leave the ground. but if you want them too try bar jump training.
Crispy chips What a rude comment, this is a great training video, try focusing on what the video is about and keep your lude comments to yourself. Thank you for making this video.
