No dog get out of this earth alive! sorry to hear that. Are you thinking of getting another BC? My BC just turned 14 months and I'm trying to teach him how to catch a frisbee, but for some reason he won't jump in the air and catch it but instead he wait until the frisbee drop to the ground and get it. Is there a way to teach him jump in the air and catch it?

Don't worry about getting the dog to jump. Many Border Collies try to "out-think" the disc. This is very common behavior. If you practice your throwing, and you learn to float a throw just right, you can learn to float them just so your dog will hop. This isn't guaranteed-like I said, many BC's like to wait for the disc, even if it is floating in perfect position.

Laika passed away on August 13, 2009. She was 14 years, 1 month and 4 days old. She had cancer, and got sick very quickly. But she played frisbee until 2 days before she died.

I miss her very much.

it's amaizing... not only dog but an owner too :) For me it's nice wiles (mainly recapturing frisbee) and when you playing frisbee you do it with facility and lightness. I'd like to teach my dog sth alike you do... for our performance of course.. :)
