to teach a dog better Frisbee skills

In this entry where I showed off Sadie's Frisbee skills, I mentioned that she isn't doing so well with bringing the Frisbee back to me; she preferred to take the evil disc off somewhere to a corner of the yard where she could shake the devil out of it and, hopefully, kill it.

Well, Betty left this comment on that particular entry:  "She has the makings of a frisbee catching champion! Use two frisbees. That's what I do with Koda. He will keep one, but if I have one, he wants the one I have so he'll come back and drop the one in his mouth so I can throw the other one."

Today we were out and about, and I bought a cheap Frisbee at Walmart.

It works!  Sadie brings the Frisbee back to me every time now.  If she drops it a little to early, she will even go back, pick it up, and drop it at my feet.  Thanks, Betty!

  1. Good for Sadie. Now you should buy a bottle of the bubbles that children blow and watch Sadie try to burst every one of them. Our Jake did that plus he loved the frisbee also. Helen
