Hi everyone,
After you make the stop in Denver for one of the best weekends of
Frisbee dog action, please try to save a few extra vacation days and
make it in for more World Class events.I have blocked 30 rooms at The Naperville Red Roof Inn for the UFO
Major ” Windy City K-9 Classic ” and AWI World Championships over
Labor Day weekend. What a weekend it will be.
First there will be a chance to add to your World Cup points towards
the title of UFO World Cup Overall Champion. Then Sunday, the
granddaddy of them all, ” The Ashley Whippet World Championship “.
Remember also that the official ” Ashley Whippet Museum” , will be
open on Monday morning so all of you can visit , sign in , and be
part of the archives and the history of our sport. ( donations of
disc and shirts are accepted. Just don’t tell the wife ). :-)The Red Roof Inn will be where most of the competitors will be
staying . There is free WI-Fi this year. These are the rates for the
weekend.
One bed, $64.99 + tax.
2 beds , $64.99 + tax. If adding a second person it is $69.99 + tax.
Standard King is also $64.99 + tax.
Business Kings, which includes a refrigerator , microwave. These
are $74.99 plus tax .

When you call in for your reservation, please use ” disc dog” to get
those rates , and ” B195disc10” as the block #. Those of you that
have reserved a room already, please CALL BACK and let them know you
are with our group. Their number is 630-369-2500.

Please ask for a ” goodie bag ” when you arrive, and let me know if
there are any issues. These rooms will go fast, so ” get er done “.

Throwing With Intent

Throwing with Intent is throwing a disc to your dog with the intent to make them look good. Throwing the disc to promote a big leap, to hit the dog in stride on the run or throwing a disc that your dog is going to flip for 10 yards away, is the sign of a mature handler.

Patron’s Choice: Shaping the Leaping Catch | Freestyle and the Leaping Catch

Shaping a Leaping Catch can, and should be a full time job. Always throw with the intent to deliver the leaping catch unless working something specific that requires a specific approach, speed or distance that is incompatible with a leaping catch. Out throws are glory, not afterthoughts.

Within a game of disc dog freestyle there are many opportunities to reinforce and shape the leaping catch and to turn the speed regulation required for the leaping catch into a habit that is ever present in your freestyle game.
