Frisbee Workshop Summer 2019

Intro to Disc Dog - with Marty Levy (see below for Bio)
Sunday 7/14 1:30pm-4:30pm- All working spots are FULL - seminar closed.
$90 Payment below
The goal of this seminar is to teach you and your dog how to safely throw and catch a flying disc. This seminar is suitable for puppies!!! All dogs MUST be interested in chasing toys/balls/discs**. The main focus is teaching handlers to throw accurately, and working out any problems with starts, catches or returns. A simple, time-tested program is used to help each handler throw consistently and, more importantly, safely. A step-by-step program is also used to introduce the disc to your dog, develop drive for the disc, and turn the furry member of your team into a disc-catching superstar. This three-hour seminar will cover the tools of the trade (which discs to use), a throwing program for the handler, and a method to teach your dog to catch safely and reliably. By the end of the seminar you will be able to enjoy a friendly catch, and play some really neat games with your dog.
