We got a new personal record of spinning Nefja around while she's hanging on a toy. Six (6) rounds.

Took Tassie out to play in what little snow melt we had and figured I could talk dog toys for a bit. Ever notice your dog getting frustrated or ignoring certain toys outside? There's a very good chance color is the problem! Most people know but need to be reminded that dogs are red/green color blind, and if you're trying to play with a red toy in green or yellow grass they're going to have a really hard time finding it, especially if it's dirty or the brightness is faded. This floppy flyer is Tassie's least favorite outdoor toy but for play in water it was the number 1 choice to make sure she didn't get frustrated looking for it in the taller grass and in the water. If you can find them blue toys are the best for visibility, and I like the Chuckit toys for the strong blue-fluorescent-orange contrast. Makes it easier for human and dog to find them!

Yeah, okay, Dogblr. Matilda is making it extremely clear that she wants to play disc more than any other thing we do together: she wants to play disc so badly that she will attempt to conscript any human who holds still long enough to release her outside where the frisbees are, and then also come out and throw them.
She has already taught herself to leap 2-5 feet in the air, sometimes while twisting and flipping, to catch a Frisbee sailing through the air. She will bring me discs or drop them as asked. I am a mediocre thrower but I get a lot of practice these days. We are using cheap shitty PetSmart frisbees mostly with a couple of Chuckit Paraflights for her training go bag. I'm open to purchasing better discs but they have to be sturdy: my dogs aren't allowed to chew Frisbees, but Benton tends to get hyperfixated by digging at frisbees in the dirt and it's not always possible to immediately get them back. I am also poor, so budget stuff is great.
I listen to my dog--I already had plans to enroll her in a disc class next summer--but while I know the kinds of things that help set up a puppy for agility well and that a puppy absolutely should not do, I do not know those things for disc. Matilda is 10mo: still definitely growing. I don't think I can stop her choosing to jump for things, even flippy jumps; she's frankly too fast and too determined. She does not give a shit about wipe-outs or falling. She wants a chance to catch a flying disc above basically every other reward in her universe.
What should I know about disc to keep my puppy from injuring herself and to help us elaborate the game she loves together?
I will be starting with MN Disc Dogs as a reading guide but does anyone know of good disc dog resources? Their getting started page is for people struggling with a different problem than I have: teaching the dogs that the Frisbee can be fun to catch in the air. Matilda knows that the Frisbee is fun and has been known to steal totally dead Frisbees off tables and present them to someone to throw. Are there any good disc dog resources predicated on wandering into the sport because your dog is extremely motivated and you are a hapless naif?

She's ready. Throw the Frisbee.

Hi! Do you have any tips for disc training? My puppy LOVES playing frisbee with me but is really struggling to bring it back (even though she had no trouble with it in the beginning) she’s been catching them about 30-50% of the time, depending on the day, and pretty consistently catches rollers. I have noticed her becoming less interested in picking them up if she misses too. Also - she keeps jumping Really High even when she doesn’t need to, which accounts for most of her misses.
This is the-thistle-missile btw
Is this for the 4 month old puppy? She is most likely teething and her mouth hurts which makes her not want to bring it back as much. I'd just give her a break until her teeth come in, or swap to a softer cloth disc like the chuckit paraflights.
Normally I reward returns with tugs, but that doesn't work with sore growing mouths. Instead I'd reward her touching the disc to your hand with soft easy to eat treats with maybe a no pull both you hold the disc depending on how she is feeling that day.
She is still a baby so there is no need to push things at this time.
At her age, jumping should be limited and discs should not be put in places that encourage jumping. Rollers are fine, but I also limit them to make sure you don't get the obsessive head down driving towards them since that can cause issues teaching collection and tracking later.
Once her teething is done, you can start with baby collection and tracking exercises using takes from hands - takes give you better control. You want to look for a slight rock back onto her rear legs. Adjust the position of the disc so she has different approaches, but always keep it low so she isn't launching herself uncontrolably. You can also do small in place tiny tosses to get her used to catching in air and adjusting to the spin.
Also, Hopper wanted to add the following tip: b2q[x227]w

As a dog owner, you want to keep your furry friend entertained and stimulated. One way to achieve this is through the use of toys. Not all toys are created equal, however. Some can be dangerous or ineffective, while others can provide hours of fun and mental stimulation. In this article, we will share the top 10 dog toys that are not only safe but will also keep your pup happy and healthy.
Interactive Toys
Interactive toys are great for keeping dogs mentally stimulated and entertained. These toys often involve treats or puzzles, which encourage your dog to use their brain and problem-solving skills. Examples of interactive toys include treat dispensers, puzzle games, and interactive balls.
Chew Toys
Chewing is a natural behavior for dogs, and providing them with appropriate chew toys can help prevent destructive chewing behaviors. Chew toys also promote healthy teeth and gums by removing plaque and tartar. Examples of chew toys include Kong toys, Nylabones, and bully sticks.
Fetch Toys
Playing fetch is a great way to keep your dog active and provide them with exercise. Fetch toys come in various shapes and sizes, including balls, frisbees, and sticks. When selecting a fetch toy, ensure that it is appropriate for your dog's size and breed.
Tug Toys
Tug toys are great for interactive play between dogs and their owners. This type of toy promotes bonding and helps to release pent-up energy. Examples of tug toys include rope toys, squeaky toys, and rubber tug toys.
Squeaky Toys
Squeaky toys are often a favorite among dogs, and the sound can keep them entertained for hours. However, it is essential to ensure that the toy is durable and does not present a choking hazard. Examples of squeaky toys include plush toys, rubber toys, and latex toys.
When selecting toys for your dog, it is essential to consider their size, breed, and play style. It is also crucial to supervise your dog when they are playing with toys to prevent any potential accidents.

Some disc dog training thoughts ..
The ChuckIt Zipflight disc seems to have the best rolling ability of the few soft/non plastic frisbees I've tried. And it does seem to be Leia's disc of preference. It has a nice thick rubber edge that allows it to go nicely for rollers. But it has a big hole in the middle, and that's not allowed as per UpDog and Toss & Fetch rules. Sooo looks like the company makes the Paraflight, which looks the same but no hole? So maybe getting that?
Leia has no interest in plastic discs and I would have to buy all new ones for her anyways because I only have full size and I think she needs puppy discs. I'm hoping to take her to the fall season for the Toss & Fetch league. I'm mostly going to keep throwing rollers until she's more confident, but she has started getting air catches as well. I think she will eventually be a dog who jumps 2 ft in the air to catch lol. She's so springy. I also have some hope that she might be able to get some decent distance, because she's pretty fast.
The disc club is having an August UpDog event which I was hoping to go to, but I wasn't sure when Leia was getting spayed, and it's full now. I'm hoping they do a fall event. I'm very keen to get back to playing UpDog. I think Leia will be good. Our team name is going to be THE REBEL ALLIANCE. Yes, in all caps lol.
I don't get enough chances to play UpDog, but it's probably my favourite dog sports organization. It's just a bunch of fetch games! And I like the cute achievements. We only have one local disc club. The next closest club that hosts UpDog is 2 hours away. I'm thinking about eventually trying to convince my agility club to host one lol. See, I know lots of people do have to travel a long distance for competitions, but we are absolutely spoiled in my region for having tons of trials close by. Not a lot of disc though.

 This is Zippy (aka, Zip Dawg). He's a 1.5 year old Blue Heeler/Australian Cattle Dog. Super sweet,  funny and WIDE OPEN nearly all the time! He loves frisbees, the Chuckit, hiking, going for rides and playing with his "sister" Iza, a GSp that's twice his size.

Aayla has decided her Chuckit tug toy is no longer as fun and isn’t as interested in it. She really only wants the frisbee but I’m not going to carry around a frisbee on the dang agility course. Why can she want something small and easy to carry?
