sort of an odd brag

Marley and i had our third disc class tonight. She is the only dog in the class who doesn't run out and catch the frisbee, but I think we are the only ones who have actually met our goal for the session.

She is tugging with me in a room full of strangers (no other dogs but people :D ) and I mean seriouslly tugging! My instructor told me twice I should be d@mn proud of her and happy about it - so I am following through and posting a brag :D See what a good trainer I have :P :roll:

Is that conditioning or shaping? :twisted:

Good girl Marley!!

Good job Kerry for working so hard to help build her confidence and help her learn how to focus :D
Good girl Marley!! 8)

Now, Kerry, tell me what disc class is about, please. What are you training her to do?
Disc class is well you've seen the disc dogs compete I am sure. I guess the common name is frisbee? I am learning to throw the disc (frisbee) properly and Marley is suppossed to be learning to catch it properly - to avoid injury. She is stuck at chasing it along the ground - but will jump to take it out of my hand.

I have no interest in competing with her (poor next puppy), but thought it would give us something new to play together and help her focus on me - the added benefit is she is really getting back into tugging which will help her drive in agility.
