Dog exercise and nutritional informationMost dogs like to play the game catching a frisbee, a agile dog may grasp that easily. However, you must be patient for other dogs, which need to be trained again and again, only in this way can the dogs learn how to catch.

At the beginning of training, you can use a piece of meat (preferably dried, like jerky or a beef stick, which will for the rest of this article be called the "goodie") instead of a frisbee. Let your canine friend sit down, then take out the predetermined goodie, let your dog smell it, and take a few steps back. Facing to the dog, say "catch" to him, at the same time, throw the dog a piece of the goodie, if the meat dropped in front of his nose, most dogs can and will catch it, as well, let him eat the goodie as a reward.

If the dog can't catch it, you should pick up the goodie that fell on the floor quickly, and throw it to him again. Don't allow your canine friend to eat the goodie, only when he catches the cookie in the air. After training for some time, your canine friend will be aware of that you hope him to catch the goodie in the air, the dog will master the skills of the game.

When your dog has had the ability above, you can train him using a ball instead of the cookie. At this time, the motive of dog is not the cookie, but in the game. You can let your dog stand up or sit down, hold a ball and say "catch" to him, then throw the ball to the top of him. As the dog has got skills of this game, in general, he may catch it well. After that, call the dog back to you and let him spit the ball, give him a little food as a reward.

Training the dog frequently, he will desire the game more and more, as well, the action of his catching will be more and more skillful, even he will often jump and catch in the air. If so, you should give him enough encouragement and tasty foods as a reward, which is very benefit to training.

Now, we can train the dog to catch when he is running, using a frisbee. At the begining of trainning, the speed of frisbee should be slow. Stand in front and right of him, throw the frisbee, say "catch" to him, most dogs will run quickly toward the frisbee, jump and catch it. If your dog can succeed to catch, reward him fully to improve the interest of dog. If the dog can't catch, repeat the training until he can. With ability to raise, you should change the direction and speed of the frisbee, to train his ability to catch.
