As for catching a frisbee, I'll tell you what I did with my Rebel. You wont believe me when I say this, but when Rebel was younger he showed no interest what so ever in the frisbee. We would throw it and he would just look at it and then run to find a tennis ball. Now he jumps over 5 feet in the air to catch them.

First you have to get her interested in the frisbee. Does she like to play fetch? If she does great! What I started off doing was just throwing the frisbee and having him bring it back to me. As soon as I saw a spark of interest with him, I began to throw it no longer then a few feet of so, so that he could catch up to it and be right under it. That led to him at least trying to open his mouth to try and catch it.

Once he got the hang of catching it when I threw it short distances, I slowly increased the distance I threw the frisbee,[ still lower to the ground, not too high-- by it being lower to the ground, he just had to jump straight out in front of himself to catch it]

As he became better at catching it that way I gradually started throwing it further and higher. By playing frisbee with him, I've notice he has gotten *alot* faster-- always getting there to catch it.

Now I have a dog who is completely nuts for frisbees

Here are a few pictures of him with his frisbee now;









Thank you so much Kelly for your time, I am definetly going to do that and lets hope I'll get her to jump like your beautiful Rebel!
