Discdogger Weekly Returns | A Nearly New Weekly Disc Dog Show…

Ron July 11, 2020

Back in the day there was this really cool disc dog freestyle show called Discdogger Weekly, produced on YT by Josh Grenell, co-founder of the MN Disc Dog Club. Josh and I were kicking out a ton of great freestyle footage back in the day, and he was the first to come up with something that resembled a real show.

Last week while looking at my weekly output on YouTube and having shared every post on Discdogger FB Group, I thought I’d try to make a weekly show of it… I asked Josh if I could resurrect the show, and here we are.

Simple Playlist Format

I’m just using a simple playlist format which will enable me to put any disc dog freestyle video on FB into the show. Not sure how comfy I am with snagging people’s videos and throwing them into an organized “show” even if it is just a playlist, but we’ll see how it shakes out.

Seeking Collaboration

I’ve sent out a couple of collaboration links, for people to join in on the playlist creation with me. Hopefully they will take me up on the offer.

I’m also looking at, perhaps, trying to grab some of the YT videos shared in the group and throw them into the show, trying to make a FB Group based disc dog freestyle show. Might be kind of cool.

Fixing the Problems of a Toss and Fetch Foundation

Toss and Fetch, Single Disc, Mini-Distance, Throw and Catch, whatever you want to call it, the timed distance game with 1 disc, while an interesting event, is no way to introduce players to the sport of canine disc.

Working Drop? Drop and Toss n Fetch Don’t Mix. Unless…

Well, I’ve got some bad news for ya. Toss n Fetch is not helpful for shaping & reinforcing a cued Drop. And it’s probably worse than that, it’s probably damaging to the good work you are doing on the cued Drop. Especially if you’ve got a dog that drops late.

The Purpose and Value of Recognizing Shapes in Disc Dog Freestyle

Shapes are created by the position and movement of dog, handler, and disc. And shapes can be created by the dog, the handler, and the placement of the disc. Shapes are a fact of disc dog freestyle.

When the dog is away from the handler and moves across the field to make a catch, as in a Zig ZagA Zig Zag is a series of catches in smooth succession that forces the dog to move back and forth across the field.

The float, the spinSpins and Twists are tricks where the dog spins 360 degrees in a clockwise or counter clockwise fashion. Spin is clockwise and Twist is counter clockwise so it is important to have a... More, and the speed can reliably be gauged and predicted after several reps. Of course this changes with wind, disc choice, and throwing ability but, generally speaking, the flight path of a disc is easily predicted.
