Impressive! Is he doing it all for a chance to run for the frisbee or did you use food rewards in teaching?

@starbuckie Thanks! When I first start training a new trick, I use food rewards since it's easier. Once he's pretty good at the trick by itself, I'll add it to the routine and he does all the work for a chance to catch the frisbees.

[3LostDogs]

@werethatguy Yay nerdfighters! I love finding people in your pants... XD The song is "Crawling in the Dark" by Hoobastank.
