Frisbee Foundations with Ron Watson- Dogmantics Dog Training TV presents

[kensheebattousai]

This was awesome, i'm looking forward to training my staffie to frisbee dog and i'm looking for videos on how to cover the basics of it, and yours is great! Thx. If you have advice for a newbee on the subject please don't hesitate.

[shireenstone06]

Can you make a "how to" video on how to teach your dog to do the rebound trick? :)

[FaithfulMay]

great training tips. most people just show tricks. Thanks

[CePtIcShT]

nice dog

[navaxtina]

Great video!! Great job!

Thanks for sharing this video.

[DiscDogRob]

Ron, nice video, what kind of covering do you have on the barrel? Looks like landscape fabric and duct tape?

[k9disc]

actually Al Erikson put that on there... it's his place and his barrel... it's just some indoor / outdoor carpet runner - like a hallway thing... i think

[Balto32]

This is fantastic!! I've been wanting to train Samson rebound for ages. Thank you for posting this :) 5*

[hdsheena]

glad to see someone more r+ than zakgeorge!

[k9disc]

thanks sheena. We are pretty serious trainers. Apryl runs the Hearing dog program at Paws with a Cause and we do tons of operant conditioning on cats, birds and dogs.

Find us on facebook - Pawsitive Vybe - that's our fan page.

peace!

peace!

Great vid!!

[AnimalLoverLizzy]

Well I have just been inspired to train Sparky this tomorrow morning. :) Thanks for the awesome video Emily and Ron!

[supernaturalbc2009]

Perfect timing! We have been working on this. How do you know when your dog is not suitable for this? Done wobble board, ladder rung climbing, barrel rolling, standing on back while I kneel, etc, to build coordination, muscles, body awareness, timing etc. She's 3yo. Some sessions I think she's not cut out for it. Her long legs are hard for her to coordinate & her feet don't seem to grip. Has landed on her back a couple of times due to foot slips. She's keen but I don't want her to get hurt.

[k9disc]

Just take it slow.

This drill is about giving them the conceptual understanding of the skills - not unlike running tires or a rope grid for a football player.

As she gets better at the drill, she'll be able to put those long legs under better and better.

After that it's all timing and placement.

[supernaturalbc2008]

Thanks. We are not in any hurry so we will keeping plugging away. She's never been the most coordinated dog to start with, much like her mom who has the same issues! LOL!

[JesstheBorder]

thanks for posting this, Emily! Ron is such a great coach, I'm still waiting for him to come to Belgium! In the meanwhile I'm going to try the reverse vault training tips, because I had difficulties teaching Jessie this. Hopefully this is going to work!! 5*

[k9disc]

Thanks!

Belgium? Love to.

[finnbjerke]

Great video, maybe Im a dogmatic old fart but:

Are you training this with no click??

[DogWorshipper]

The "yes!" is the conditioned reinforcer in this case. (In lieu of the clicker).

[k9disc]

Ooo... perhaps you picked up on the fact that I use a positive marker and give no reinforcement sometimes.

Different school of thought on marking behaviors. Emily and I talked at length about that.

I have been working on frisbee stuff a lot with my dogs lately so this video is a real help :-) Ron did an awesome job :-)

[Parenchym]

Hey I wonder if you could make a video about how to teach the dog to jump correctly. Mine most of the time jumps straight in the air and lands on his hindlegs (not really good for his joints :/) that is a reason why we don't play frisbee so much anymore.

[newbear95]

Great tutorial!

[alomaro]

Hey Emily !!! Very nice and intersting info.

Thanks!!!!! And

Thanks Ron!!!!!!

[wmlgts]

Very cool! I don't think I'll be trying it with my chihuahua though:-) Roxy is a beautiful dog, btw. I'm gonna check out Ron's channel. Thanks for posting!

[chihuahuabulldog]

Emily, You have such great helpful videos for people and their dogs. Thank you so much for caring. And it was so nice of Ron to do that. Yet another great job! Thank you! Ann

[Bolkaaaa]

When was he there? I recently went to San Diego and was thinking about making contacts with some dog trainers...

(I've been to San Diego last weekend, 21st to 25th )

great video!!

[kikopup]

a couple weeks ago. Sorry you missed out! :)

[leofrizbonnie]

Hey Ron,

Do i get any credit for this idea?? Looks alot like what i did exept you made it awesome!! lol

(mabee ill post my vid as a response to this one..)

[k9disc]

Actually Yachi Hirai gets most of the credit.

I had actually done the stall work already with Leilani (see blog entry Oct 24). I think I said something about it on your post with Bonnie (Nov 11).

And your video ROCKED, LEO!

peace

[kikopup]

Thanks for posting! I love video responses! Great minds think alike! :)

I taught stall by getting my dog to jump onto the couch and then put the cushion on my back- to become a human couch.

[pamelamarxsen]

That was so awesome! I totally want Bandit to rebound! Maybe Stall, but I do not want him to vault. Too much stress on his little joints. :) Great video! Love it! I want to come next time. :) Thanks for the video! 5*s

[k9disc]

I've recently discovered that vaulting is often much easier on 'the joints' than big leaping.

It's all in the execution of the skill.

peace

[pamelamarxsen]

Thanks! I just see so many dogs eat it on the way down (crashing to the ground). My dog Bandit has had a broken Tibia and I worry about him doing some of the stuff that he does. I run agility and I worry about that too! He likes it, so I guess I should just not worry and let him have fun! I would love to come to a seminar with you next time you are out here in San Diego. Thanks again! Pam & Bandit

[fall8669]

What Kind of dog is it? Great video!

[kikopup]

A McNab :) She is very Smart!

[ZandersStory]

That was awesome! Very helpful. :) Back tricks are something I've been wanting to work with Zander on for Frisbee this spring/summer.. Also, I like how they can be incorporated into Canine Freestyle! 5*s for the video and a fav!

[elisahafdis]

So good !!! loved it5*

[Tecnecolor]

Thank you so much for posting this. I have actually been trying to find good frisbee videos lately and this popped up in my subscriptions :)

[Suffix95]

Wow, I just loved all of these tricks! The rebound is so cool too!

5 stars and an instant fav!

- Nenne, Della, and Cherie

[tehrenberg]

I LOVE this! Ron is so clear in his instructions, and amazing at showing how to build behaviors. Darn, how about you and Ron come to Massachusetts and help me train Mi?? hehe. Thanks for making this Em. . . can't wait for the next one - 5* & a favorite!

[hunkymonkeykaine]

Awesome video! 5* and we subbed to Ron and his awesome dogs! The clip with Splash doing the rebound was great! Just curious, how much does she weigh?

[kikopup]

shes 35 pounds. I actually am probably going to just keep that as a trick rather than her vaulting higher to get a frisbee. As I really worry that I am not good enough and she will get hurt

[SplishSplashCrash]

Oh wow, I didn't realize she weighs less than Cricket!! She looks so much bigger.

[dalmarie23]

What a awesome video :)))))))) awesome awesome awesome

[claudiahoyle]

great video thank guys!

[sickanza]

Really nice tutorial ;o)

I never thought about this way to teach vaults ;o)

[k9disc]

Awesome Job, Emily! Thanks for the offer.

This is actually super-secret Pawsitive Vybe stuff, supposed to be kept under wraps until I get our book/DVD done, which is like the Augean Stables...lol

Sarah, thanks for kind words!

peace!

[kikopup]

THANKS AGAIN RON! :) p.s. The tip you gave me about the handstand had immediate results. I can't believe I thought I could free shape it- with Splash looking forwards like that.

-m

[k9disc]

np...

Sometimes the simplest stuff is the hardest to see.

It's really nice working with Apryl. Two heads are better than one.

peace

[SplishSplashCrash]

Great video Em. Ron is the man!!! That seminar helped me sooooo much :) Yay roxy .

[kikopup]

I know! My throws got so much better. It was fun hanging out after too. TOO much wine I drank though!

[k9disc]

It was really cool talkin' trainin' with you guys, em.

[courtneyj4657]

wow great i loved the rebound of ur dog it lked great hw logn did it tke to train?

[kikopup]

well, It only took a couple training sessions, I believe 3. BUT splash already knew 'jump up' so she was comfortable with jumping onto me, I just had to add her jumping off of me.

[k9disc]

You can establish the understanding in one session. A disc driven dog will pretty much know the drill after that. Real fast.

The thing is...

You really want to get the concept down and that means a few 3-5 minute sessions. With treats and possibly toys.

peace

[courtneyj4657]

thanks but hes only 9 weeks so i dnt think i shud start disk yet x

[cardante979]

very interesting...thanx for posting...
