http://sketchandflash.com Due to many requests, I decided to make a four minute video on how to train your dog to catch a disc using my newest dog, Blitz. PL…
my dog is my profile pic and he is okay he is learning i taught him how to
play dead, sit, speak, shake a paw, and how to roll over and now hese
learning this the other dogs i have are learning the same tricks therir a
bit younger but my dog is training them just like me someties i feel like
he knows what i am saying :D
Some dogs take longer to learn to catch, especially puppies. Flash took
about 4 months of being interested in playing disc before he would actually
catch it in the air. Try holding the disc out in front of his nose and when
he grabs on to it say “catch.” You can do this with a ball too. Throw the
disc out just a tiny bit in front of him and say “catch.” Make sure to
praise your dog whenever he puts his mouth on the disc.
hello im 11 and my pitbull doesn’t want to let go of the frisbie he will
also break it in 1 minute ( he has chewed golf balls in have ) also
sometimes he doesn’t want to bring it back. he is going to be 2 in augest
Over time some dogs will start to jump more. Usually thinner dogs will jump
higher(but not too thin!) You can somewhat train a dog to jump for a disc
using an agility jump and doing takes over the jump. It’s also best for
your dog to jump so that the front paws hit the ground a bit before the
back paws do. You never want back paws to hit the ground first. You never
want the dog to land in a handstand position or straight up.
I have a Border Collie puppy who is VERY interested in her frisbee. She
prefers it over any other toy. For a while now I’ve been trying to figure
out how to actually get her to catch it out of the air, instead of just
chasing after it when I roll it vertically. But now I know how, and I will
try it, so thank you! (:
wow..I’ve never had a dog and just assumed that dogs naturally knew how to
play catch with a ball or frisbee! Can the small dogs paly frisbee or is it
just a game for the medium to bigger sized ones. I was thinking of buying
my first dog and it would probably be an eskimo dog or brittany. I’ll save
this video in case I actually do get around to getting a dog..thanks
P.s. my australian shepherd kinda just waits for it to get low enough for
him to just grab with his mouth…. Is it possible to teach him to jump
high and catch it in mid-air? Or is that considered a progression from what
he’s already doing?
My two Border Collies(including the one in the video) started with floppy
discs and then moved on to plastic. But beware of the hard discs in pet
stores because many of them are actually unsafe for the dog’s mouth. It it
is not a Wham-O(DT World), Hero, or HyperFlite disc, I cannot guarantee
that it is safe for your dog. Happy Training! Hope the advice helps!
This is a very helpful video. I have one dog who wasn’t at all interested
in any kind of fetch until 7 months old. My new puppy seems likewise, but
I’m going to use your ideas as a fun way to play with both of them. Right
now, When I throw for the older one, the pup runs and plays tug after its
already caught. Thanks for the tips and excellent presentation.
thank you so much! My Border Collie pup is 10 weeks so im not going to rush
him into anything. Your video has nice easy steps, I actually like it
better than zak’s/. I dont know what PittiesLuver problem is, you’re
teaching is great!
how old does my dog have to be to catch the disk? I have a Jack Rusell
Terrier, 6 months. I bought a disc yesterday and he loves it. He lets it
land infront of him before picking it up and coming to me. Will he slowly
gain confidence>
@myaluko same i have a boxer 10 weeks he loves it but waits for it to land
then picks it up and let me no if your jack russel has gained confidence
and if he has tell me what you did please

My 6 month old pitbull won‘t give the disc back. She just sits there,
gnawing away at it. Help!!!

@mission762008 Nope not natural! Some dogs catch on very quickly though.
Any size dog can do this!

@horses4eva3300 herodiscusa. c o m Check under “K9 Discs”. The Air 235 is
my favorite and all of the “Super” Models are very durable.
