Waaaa!

Updif 2024 performance round

[tricksforclicks]

Which disc league is it? If it is UpDog Bite Club or K9 Toss'n'fetch league, the chuckit paraflights are allowed. The problem with them is that they are hard to throw distances and are very susceptible to wind. Though there are a couple people in my club who are skilled enough to get them out 25ish yards.

Other than that, like grison said, it depends on why your dog has the preference.

It could be an intimidation factor, in which case smaller pup discs help. That was Bern's issue. I found she really liked the atom taffy since it was smaller and a softer flexy plastic.

If it is the hardness of the plastic, your best bet would be the herodisc USA Xtra supersoft. Unfortunately they are usually limited runs and expensive for light plastic. Option 2 for light plastic might be the hyperflite sofflite though that is a soft recommend since i havent seen it in a few years and they like to change their formulas. Other more durable options would be the herodisc superaero or the hyperflite hyperflex discs.

If it is the flight path/lightness, discovering the world has frisbee fastbacks. Get the practice blems. They are very non durable. Also rule out texture first since they do make a thonk when caught which can be off putting.

But yeah. Def talk to your disc club before in case the paraflite work. They may also have a stash (or people will have ones you can borrow) to try first without getting. IME disc dog folk are very helpful to new folks.

Do you have any disc recommendations for dogs that strongly prefer the foam Chuckit discs? I've been trying to get him switched to the plastic ones so we can join our local disc league

I have no idea, I'm afraid; I'm very new to this myself. I'm going to punt the question over to @groenendaze, who is a much more experienced disc person and was kind enough to give me a really nice introduction to disc options last fall.

Think about what your dog likes about the foam disc, too: I found that the full size Hyperflite Jawz for example is too heavy: I can't throw it and get it to float well enough for Matilda to routinely catch, and she does not appreciate that. The Pup discs work much better for her that way, but I think the size is less important than weight; on the other hand, she's maybe 20" tops at the shoulder, it's not like she needs a huge disc. The K10s in competition weight worked better yet, although the wind made it harder to gauge. She has a strong preference for Not Fullsize Jawz, I think because she seems to find catching discs rewarding but she is not the fastest dog in the world, so she just can't get out fast enough to nab those out of the air.

On the other hand, if the preference is about the texture of the chomp, picking a disc is going to depend on different factors.

I haven’t been very good at keeping ya’ll updated. But Butter got halfway to qualifying for Updog’s nationals (Updif) this year. We got a little sidetracked with a different sport though, so we won’t be pushing hard to go to Updif after all.

Waiting patiently for the neighbor to come and play outside with the frisbees! So much fun!

You may remember Jax, our fearful mini Aussie who struggled when meeting new people. We've just received a wonderful update from his people - people who were willing to take a chance on him despite his reticence, and if I'm not mistaken, he really wasn't interested in allowing petting during the meet and greet. Here he is - renamed Riley - a completely different dog!! This is why we do what we do. #rightdogrighthome #mabcrriley #mabcr #midatlanticbordercollierescue #midatlanticbordercollierescuealumni #discdog (at MABCR) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGQMxgFHeme/?igshid=1pr6lqi8enz09

Secret of Dog training

Do you ever get the feeling that your dog is the "master" and you're just along for the ride? I'm sure you're not alone. In your house, it's your dog's couch, chair, bed (in your bedroom), not yours, and if you try to reclaim this space, you might get a growl in return. Are you frustrated with your dog's consistent disobedience to any of your commands? Again, if this sounds familiar in any way, you're on the right path here - there is a way to turn your dog into an obedient dog with the proper training tips.

Some dogs are more difficult to train than others and this has a bit to do with their breed. Some dogs were never meant to be in a house as domesticated animals, especially breeds that were trained to hunt and kill prey for generations. Regardless of breed, your dog is trainable and capable of obeying your every command, if you learn how to do it. This may sound a bit difficult to recognize or accept, but a dog will defy you because he knows he can. If a dog asserts control with his behavior, or controls a certain portion of the house, by not breaking that pattern and asserting our dominance, we have in fact given permission for that dog to be the dominant one in th. One thing dogs recognize right away, being pack animals, is their place in their environment. In a pack, one has to become the leader or "alpha dog". If you don't assume that "alpha" position, your dog will assume that role. Even when you try to train your dog it's important to use a confident energy and posture that clearly shows the dog you are in control, otherwise you won't be perceived that way in your dog's eyes.

Of course there's no need to become rough and aggressive with your dog, but to establish your dominance you need to follow a few simple dog training tips in order to successfully train your dog. This may not come very naturally to you initially, but hang in there because these dog training tips really work and they will make you enjoy your dog's company so much more. The first thing you must be aware of during your training time with your dog is your tone of voice. If you want to be perceived as the dominant leader in the pack, your firm, determined and neutral (non emotional) voice tone has to project that energy. This establishes an environment where the dog knows you mean business and he or she will have more focus on the drills you practice. An affectionate and softer tone should only be used when playing. The next thing to keep in mind that is absolutely critical for you to establish your "alpha" position, is to act like the leader and do everything first when in the presence of your dog. Getting in the house, leaving the house, or walking between two parked cars should always be started by you and your dog must follow behind, always. Eating should also be an activity you can use to establish your dominance - you eat first, and then feed your dog. Playing or any other activity should also be initiated by you. Again, this won't be easy at first but it will help you have a much happier dog in the long term.

These simple dog training tips will give you plenty to start your path toward having a much happier and obedient dog. Give it a try and have fun with it!
