Ravette:Treats can be hard for some dogs to see. Gull has never been able to catch treats, although I eventually did discover he could catch Popcorn, maybe because it's a lot lighter color then most treats.I wish my dog would lean to CATCH!!! Shes almost 2 now and I still throw treats to her and they BOUNCE off her head *rolls eyes* Any ideas?
I find starting with a soft stuffie to teach catch works really well. It's big enough to see, but soft enough that while they're learning if it bonks'em on the nose, it's no big deal.
Gull's not exceptionally coordinated, fast or can jump high, but he's gotten really good at catching a frisbee. And he started out with treats bouncing off his nose too, so he's proof it can be done.
