Dal & Mad's Mom Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 My mom's dog is 3 and she loves the frisbee and is a great catcher but, the most she will go away without other dogs there is 3-5 feet. What is the trick to teaching them out or away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishinBC Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Will she do a sit stay for you? Then you could walk out away from her and throw the frisbee. I'm not sure... Briar has just always run out real far when we play frisbee or use the chuckit. In fact I had to teach her to "walkup" because she would run too far out. We play frisbee and chuckit with her marking out a huge oval. She runs out to her spot. Does the catch, makes a big arch on the other side drops the ball or frisbee and makes a big arch on the other side going back out. I just couldn't get her interested in doing it with sheep! They would have to be painted tennis ball green and launched into the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Scott Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 FishinBC: where did you get your name? We have one BC who loves to go salmon fishing in Lake MI (hundreds of feet of water), one who DockDogs, one who canoes and one who jumpd in my lap everytime we get hook a fish. The others get seasick! Barb S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat's Dogs Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 What happens if you through the fisbee (with no other dogs there) and just wait? Dazzle doesn't have this problem so I haven't ACTUALLY done this but... What if you simply tried working up to it? Through the frisbee (inside her space bubble) and hold her back (to get her really pumped up) and then let her go. VERY slowly increase the distance, each time gettin her really excited by holder her back. If you go slow enough, she won't even notice that she is getting farther away. Also, when you do this if you add a command to get the frisbee (like "get it") it would make it go faster. She would know that when you say the word (whatever it is) she has to go and get the frisbee. I don't really know (cuz like I said, I haven't tried it) but this should work, I think.
