What is Disc Dog?
Disc Dog is an active sport where a handler and dog are a team playing games involving catching the disc and going through obstacles.
This class is for people who want to learn how to throw Frisbees better for their dogs, teach dogs how to catch Frisbees, and land safely and start learning some of the cool disc dog tricks!
Content: This course will focus on teaching you and your canine partner the foundations of the sport of disc dog, which may include: different disc grips and releases, proper throwing technique, drive building, safety considerations for humans and canines, canine foundations (rollers, takes, retrieves, drops), set up moves, freestyle tricks and sequence/routine building, rules of the game, etc. Each team will get some individualized training from the instructor based upon their skill level.
Prerequisites: Your dog does not need to know how to catch airborne discs in order to attend. There are a variety of techniques to teach your dog to catch, so don’t despair. Your dog, however, must be interested in playing with and chasing toys.
Open to all dogs but dogs under 1 yr will not be taught to jump for the Frisbee yet - they will only chase rollers, and learn groundwork and tricks.
An approved, dog-safe disc is required and is available for purchase.

What is the Dog Fitness Class?
Just like us, dogs can benefit from a stretching and strengthening program. It can build and maintain muscle mass, improve body awareness and balance, and provide a physical and mental workout. Canine athletes definitely gain an advantage from this type of conditioning, but senior dogs also need to stay limber. Couch potatoes and bored dogs can reap rewards too, because the activity is mentally stimulating. And some of these exercises can even be tailored to puppies as part of their training and socialization.
