Daniel Steven's Dog Obedience Training  STOP Your Dog's Behavior Problems!

Ron Watson, an internationally renowned Frisbee master, was in San Diego doing a Frisbee seminar that I had the pleasure to attend. He generously accepted the offer to do a free youtube tutorial on some basic Frisbee foundations. These exercises can be done with a dog even before they have been introduced to a Frisbee, and can also be used for cool tricks, or flashy Canine Freestyle moves as well! I must say that my Frisbee throwing ability GREATLY improved with a little tutoring! And now Splash is not eating dirt every time that I throw! Thanks Ron! Are you interested in Frisbee? Check out these links- www.pawsitivevybe.com www.k9athlete.com Check out Ron Watsons youtube channel www.youtube.com/k9disc for more free tips on playing Frisbee with your dog. — Remember your dog should be over 18 months old to do these exercises, to ensure their growth plates are closed. Also keep in mind your dog should also not be overweight or old- stressing their joints too much.

    Perfect timing! We have been working on this. How do you know when your dog is not suitable for this? Done wobble board, ladder rung climbing, barrel rolling, standing on back while I kneel, etc, to build coordination, muscles, body awareness, timing etc. She’s 3yo. Some sessions I think she’s not cut out for it. Her long legs are hard for her to coordinate & her feet don’t seem to grip. Has landed on her back a couple of times due to foot slips. She’s keen but I don’t want her to get hurt.

    thanks for posting this, Emily! Ron is such a great coach, I’m still waiting for him to come to Belgium! In the meanwhile I’m going to try the reverse vault training tips, because I had difficulties teaching Jessie this. Hopefully this is going to work!! 5*

    Ooo… perhaps you picked up on the fact that I use a positive marker and give no reinforcement sometimes.

    Different school of thought on marking behaviors. Emily and I talked at length about that.

    peace

    The “yes!” is the conditioned reinforcer in this case. (In lieu of the clicker).

    Great video, maybe Im a dogmatic old fart but:

    Are you training this with no click??

    I have been working on frisbee stuff a lot with my dogs lately so this video is a real help :-) Ron did an awesome job :-)

    Hey I wonder if you could make a video about how to teach the dog to jump correctly. Mine most of the time jumps straight in the air and lands on his hindlegs (not really good for his joints :/) that is a reason why we don’t play frisbee so much anymore.

    Thanks! I just see so many dogs eat it on the way down (crashing to the ground). My dog Bandit has had a broken Tibia and I worry about him doing some of the stuff that he does. I run agility and I worry about that too! He likes it, so I guess I should just not worry and let him have fun! I would love to come to a seminar with you next time you are out here in San Diego. Thanks again! Pam & Bandit

    Very cool! I don’t think I’ll be trying it with my chihuahua though:-) Roxy is a beautiful dog, btw. I’m gonna check out Ron’s channel. Thanks for posting!

    Thanks for posting! I love video responses! Great minds think alike! :)

    I taught stall by getting my dog to jump onto the couch and then put the cushion on my back- to become a human couch.

    a couple weeks ago. Sorry you missed out! :)

    I’ve recently discovered that vaulting is often much easier on ‘the joints’ than big leaping.

    It’s all in the execution of the skill.

    Actually Yachi Hirai gets most of the credit.

    I had actually done the stall work already with Leilani (see blog entry Oct 24). I think I said something about it on your post with Bonnie (Nov 11).

    And your video ROCKED, LEO!
    peace

    That was so awesome! I totally want Bandit to rebound! Maybe Stall, but I do not want him to vault. Too much stress on his little joints. :) Great video! Love it! I want to come next time. :) Thanks for the video! 5*s
