Mastering the Art of Disc Fetching: A Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Introduce the Disc

Start by letting your dog familiarize itself with the disc. Allow them to sniff it, touch it, and get comfortable with it. Reward them with treats for showing interest in the disc.

Step 2: Start with Basic Fetch

Before introducing the disc into the air, start with a basic fetch game. Roll the disc on the ground and encourage your dog to fetch it. Reward them when they bring it back to you.

Step 3: Gradual Elevation

Once your dog is comfortable with fetching the disc from the ground, gradually start throwing the disc at a low height. Encourage and reward your dog for catching it in the air.

Step 4: Increase the Height

As your dog gets more comfortable with catching the disc in the air, gradually increase the height of your throws. Remember to always reward your dog for their efforts.

Step 5: Practice Consistently

Consistency is key in dog training. Make sure to practice regularly and maintain a positive, rewarding atmosphere for your dog.
