The Sound of DiscDog | Frontside Backside Vault

Ron & Epic work on a bit of lost history with this FrontsideA term that means to catch before the handler or Before the trick. This is best illustrated in practice. A Stall behavior has a Frontside, before the dog lands on the human, and More/Backside VaultThe dog uses the player´s body as a launching pad to jump for a disc. A Vault is a leaping catch from the handler’s body. The dog leaves the ground for the target More on a Sound of DiscDog session on Clubhouse.

Tough Sequences – Keeping Energy Up

So this sequence is pretty tough for us, and it’s more of an audio experience of keeping energy up with a tough sequence that isn’t going so well. I’m really shaping this for dog, handler, and team. I’ve since changed the disc I’m throwing in the StallA Stall has the dog leaping up and chilling out on the handler’s back. Stalls are great for showmanship and for presenting a dog to the crowd. They create a dramatic or emotive More from the bottom disc to the top one, which made things a bit easier, but this move tends to be one or the other at this time.

Top – 2

I’m giving a “two” cue, which for me and my dogs means that 2 discs will be thrown in rapid succession in this trick. So Eppie knows that this is a double shot from the get go.
