Steps to train a dog to “catch a flying saucer”:

Step one: "Chasing" is a dog's nature. Anything that moves quickly can arouse the dog's desire to chase. You can use this method when you first let your dog come into contact with a Frisbee. This kind of nature of dogs makes dogs gradually get used to Frisbee and then like Frisbee. The training method is: you can use small pieces of biscuits or beef jerky. First let the dog sit face-to-face, then take out biscuits or beef jerky and let it smell it, take a few steps back, face it and give the "continue" command, and at the same time throw the biscuit toward its mouth. If the biscuit is thrown just above its nose, most dogs can catch it with their mouths, and the dog owner will let the dog eat the biscuit to reward and strengthen it. If it can't catch it, you should quickly pick up the biscuits that fell on the floor and throw them to it again. Only when the dog catches the biscuit in the air can it be allowed to eat it for reinforcement. After a few exercises, it will understand that the owner's purpose is to ask it to catch the cookies in the air. Soon, the dog will be able to master the skills of this game.

Step 2:When the dog reaches the above abilities, the dog owner can use a ball instead of biscuits for training. At this time, the dog's motivation is not in the biscuits, but in the game. The dog owner can let the dog sit or stand, take out the ball, give it the command "Follow", and throw the ball upward. Because the dog has mastered the game, he can often catch it easily. Then, the dog owner calls the dog to come to him and spits out the ball, giving it a reward. With such regular training, the dog’s desire to play is getting higher and higher, and its picking up skills are becoming more and more proficient., and often jumps up to catch the ball in the air. If your dog reacts like this, you should fully encourage and reward it, and encourage it to jump up and catch objects in the air during training to train the dog to master the timing of jumping and the skills to catch objects until it is proficient.

Step Three:Next, to develop the dog's ability to jump and catch objects while running, you can use a flying saucer for training. The speed of the flying saucer should be slow at the beginning. The dog owner stands in front of the right side of the dog, throws the flying saucer in front of the dog, and gives it the "Go" command. After hearing the command, most dogs will quickly run towards the flying saucer and jump to catch it. If the dog succeeds, the dog owner should fully reward it to stimulate its interest. If it cannot catch it, the training should be repeated until it succeeds. As the dog's ability improves, dog owners should change direction and speed to develop its ability to pick up objects.

2. When the dog completes the action, don’t forget to give snacks as encouragement immediately.

3. Before training your dog to play Frisbee, first train it to play with soft objects that your dog likes.
