~Fris~Ba~Beeeee~

What fun would there be playing with a Frisbee without a German Shepherd dog at the other end trying to catch it, right? So seeing how it's been a long time coming, here's my next mission; Teach Butterscotch Baby how to catch a Frisbee!

Step 1:
Buy about 5 discs. Look for discs that are specially designed to reduce risk of injuring your dog. Floppy ones are the safest bet.

Step 2:
First encourage your dog to take the disc out of your hand. Give her flattery remarks when she does, like "Yes" or "Good Girl"...

Step 3:
Play tug with her gently with the disc. Always let your dog win. Don't rip the disc out of your dog's mouth. She'll assume she's not suppose to bite it...

Step 4:
Throw the disc so it rolls on the ground. Dogs love to chase them this way. It helps them learn to zoom in and "target" the disc and pick it up.

Step 5:
Finally, simply throw the Frisbee.

Step 6:
Prepare to be amazed. Before you know it, your dog will be leaping up and gripping that Frisbee in her teeth.

I can't wait to try it!!!
