Beto Drill and Throwing Discs for Distance Class

One of the greatest problems I see in dog frisbee and dog training is that handlers don’t apply the tools and methods of positive training on themselves or to the team. Using the tools and methods of positive training on ourselves is a key element to successful dog training and disc dog training especially on the disc throwing front. The Beto Drill is a prime example.

Backchaining the Hit

Backchaining is a powerful training tool.

The Beto Drill is an elegant backchain of distance throwing. Starting at the finish of the kinetic chain of a distance throw and working back, in simplified fashion, to the beginning of the throw is an extremely effective method that should sound familiar to dog trainers.

A Cornerstone of Throwing Discs for Distance Class

This piece is a cornerstone of our Throwing Discs for Distance class. It’s a tremendous freebie. This, alone should add 5-10 yards to your distance toss. You should check out the rest of class if you want to extend the range of your distance throwing.

Classes are complimentary for Patrons at the Vice Director tier and above (for a limited time only – Vice Directors will be grandfathered in – only a couple weeks to gain access remain…)

Sneak Peak Access for Patrons Only… Public Access Dec 7 | It looks as if Routine Building is going to be the topic of choice to get this jam rolling. I’ll let the poll play out, and this might change, but I got thinking about “Deep Work”, a topic that crossed my path to today, and the outline wrote itself in minutes. 

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.

Wait vs Stay Using a BackStall with An Over-Aroused Dog | Pt 1

This is the first of a 4 part session with Motown, an 18 month old MiniAussie. Motown is easily over-aroused while working for cookies. He is Apryl’s dog and she handles him fine. He is still over-aroused, but manageable for her if she stays on top of him. I am not a fan of “staying on top” of a dog. I try to cultivate a sense of self-discipline with a working dog, which is often easier said than done and certainly easier done with a dog who is not yours.
