Frisbee with your dog

This sport is gaining popularity. Throw and catch competitions are held across the country every year, sponsored by different clubs and county parks and recreation. Some teams perform freestyle routines with several discs. Advanced freestyle dogs perform sophisticated moves as back flips, chest vaults and back vaults.

Just about any dog can be taught to catch a disc. Hunting dogs excel in Frisbee play and most herding breeds (border collie, Australian Shepherd) learn the sport easily. It’s is a great outdoor sport for dogs who need to be worked everyday, and can help with behavior problems resulting from inactivity .
