Funny. I just found this site and this is the reason why. I'm looking for more info on frisbee training.

I never thought about getting into it. My dogs brought up the idea. I rescued 2 border collies a few months apart. They were about a year old when I got them. They loved to chase a ball and were great at snagging it out of the air if I didnt throw it high enough or hard enough.

One day at the dog park my boy was distracted by a lab playing frisbee. He outran him and grabbed it out of the air and brought it back to the thrower. So we decided to get him a frisbee.

While most dogs could probably pick up a love for frisbee some dogs take to it naturally and may be waiting at a rescue ready to play. Some breeds have the body type, speed, agility, energy, and desire to be that much better than others. So while you could go out and get a BC or an aussie (these breeds have won almost half the national championships since the sport started) that doesnt mean they will excel at it. Go find a dog that has already been evaluated, or could be evaluated quickly by you, and shows an interest and ability in frisbee. Instead of training your puppy to poop and pee outside you could be playing frisbee.

I've had puppies that grew up to be dogs and Ive rescued young dogs. While the cute factor is great, missing the puppyhood of my current dogs hasnt hurt our bonding/relationship one bit.

If your in the northeast US I could refer you to the rescue I got mine from.

Have fun!

Exactly! Good reason to rescue a dog that loves the frisbee already. Save yourself time and a pups life all in one.

First train it to fetch a ball. Second, get the dog used to a frisbee by using it a water dish or something. Then throw a frisbee and see if the dog runs to catch it. Some dogs like to play fetch more than others. You can also try to find a dog at a rescue group that may already know how to catch a frisbee.
