For hard bite dogs, I suggest Hero brand discs over Jaws – any of the “Super” types. For a smaller dog, I’d definitely go with the Super Sonic. It’s still the same approximate weight of the fastback (110g) so it floats nicely, it’s smaller in size and still holds up to my cattle dog’s extreme bite.

We’re still looking for a disc mentor/trainer that’s somewhere in FL where we can get more frequent training. I wish Ron and Apryl would move to sunny FL!!!

Where’s New Charlotte? …..

I’ve learned so much in the past month with Moxie. I forget that we’ve only been playing together for 4 months. We’ve just started to figure each other out and be able to relax and play together and discover and try new stuff.

I’m really grateful to have Mox as my partner – that may sound cheesy but she’s “my” first dog and the connection with her is so much fun and really rewarding.

Congrats on your finishes in SC!

To me, what really opens a team up to true flow, is when you achieve a level of skill and ‘oneness’ with your k9 partner that you no longer have to think about any of it…………you just FEEL it. It is hard to explain. Much easier to feel. Once all the foundation work, the skill sets, the attention to a dogs tendencies, and the attitude all are in place, then the routine begins to become more of a work of art, than a series of disc dog tricks
