Train dogs to catch Frisbee quickly

Some dog owners may also want to let their border collies learn to catch Frisbee and let them play if they have nothing to do. But after buying Frisbee, I found that the dog didn’t like it, or didn’t know how to train the dog to accept Frisbee. Today, let’s share how to let the border sheepdog learn to catch the Frisbee, so that the agile dog can show his skill.

Train Border Shepherd Dog to catch Frisbee

1. Make the dog interested in Frisbee. The owner can hold the Frisbee first, shake it constantly, throw it up and pick it up by himself, show that the toy is very funny and attract the attention of the dog. If the dog is interested in Frisbee, try to bite it, but don’t give it. Dogs are more interested in Frisbee and keep staring at it.
2. Don’t throw Frisbee at first, start with the rolling disc. If the frisbee is thrown at the beginning, the dog may not understand how to run to catch it, and will not bite it until it lands. The owner can roll the Frisbee out like a wheel on the ground first. When the dog can intercept the Frisbee halfway, encourage it loudly.
3. Let the dog know how to take the Frisbee back to the owner. The owner can catch the Frisbee and run to lure the dog to chase it. After the dog bites the Frisbee, let it go and praise it. When it wants to let go, immediately say the “put down” command, and then reward it with snacks. When the dog in the back is willing to give you the Frisbee, reward the snack. If the dog doesn’t bring the Frisbee back to you, it will waste time with it. When it realizes that it can’t play without giving it to its owner. It is not difficult for the dog to catch the Frisbee, but it needs patient training to let it know how to take it back to its owner.
4. In the initial training, dogs should take their time to catch Frisbee. At first, the owner should throw the Frisbee slowly so that the dog has enough time to prepare and pick it up. After the dog is familiar with it, slowly increase the speed of throwing Frisbee and change the direction of throwing Frisbee at will.

Lazy shortcut: It is the fastest to find a dog to cheat. Find a dog who can play Frisbee directly and take his dog to sit beside and watch, which is definitely more time and effort saving than your own training. When other dogs stop to rest, you can let your own dog try. If the dog does not do well, he can also exchange with other owners to steal lessons and see what is wrong.

Precautions for letting dogs play Frisbee

1. Don’t play, too young dog. The puppies’ bones are still developing. If they exercise too much, they can easily be injured and suffer from life-long arthritis. You can touch it first when you are young, but don’t let it jump. When the dog is about 1 year old and its bones are fully developed, it can often play.
2. When playing Frisbee, look for soft grass. If you play on the concrete floor, the impact on the dog’s joints will be caused by poor cushioning when landing.
3. You should also play Frisbee moderately. When he plays the take-off plate, he often feels tired and his brain has been occupied by the instinct of chasing. Some dogs will continue to play even if they are tired, because their adrenal hormones surge, which makes them unable to stop. The owner should calculate the amount of time the dog plays Frisbee every week. Don’t overdo it, but cause damage to the dog.

Finally, playing Frisbee is just a way for dogs to relax, not to participate in world competitions. I hope that the owner will not forget his original intention, and don’t blame them when they behave badly. So smart frontier herdsmen must learn and trust them soon.
