MARISTELA Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 My dog brings the ball back to me when I throw it. But when I throw the frisbee, he catchs it and go away to play alone with it. He bites the frisbee in a corner and seems to enjoy playing alone more than with me. Actually he brings it back to me just the first time I throw it, than, after the first chase, he seems to play rather alone... Does anybody have some advice??

Barb Scott Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 Use more than one frisbee and entice him with one to bring the other one back. Barb S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob d Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 How old is he? Maybe it is just an age / attention thing? My BC didn't care much for frisbee until a couple of weeks ago (he's 16 months old) - he has always been big time BALL CRAZY, and even now, his reward for frisbee is to chase a ball - but until a few weeks ago, he just didn't care much at all about playing frisbee with me - he loved to throw it himself, chew on it, etc.. but not bring it back, now all of a sudden, he's on his way to being a frisbee dog.. Just a coincidence, this is from today (the challenge was throwing, grabbing camera, focus, and shoot ): For over a year, I'd throw the frisbee, he'd usually sort of ignore it - I'd encourage him, he'd get it, but didn't really care to bring it back.. Then, one day a couple of weeks ago - he goes running, and JUMPS!.. I still have to encourage him, he'd rather play BALL, but he seems to love frisbee too..

MARISTELA Posted May 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Thanks for the advice. I am trying now with two frisbees. He brings it back to me, not straight forward, because he'd rather chew it.But I think he will learn. He is 14 month now. I thank you all.
