Toss and Fetch
Handler tosses the disc approx 40 yards. Dog runs, catches and returns the disc. Repeat 4 times in 60 seconds and you are in a toss and fetch competition. Bonus points for catches with all 4 paws in the air.
How do I get started?
Start with basic obedience and play. Roll the disc, creating a game of chase, Encourage your dog to get the disc, tug and play with it. Once your dog is chasing you can begin putting the disc in the air.
