The Sound of DiscDog | Drop & Catch with Obi

Ron April 3, 2021

Ron & Obi work on catching and dropping on cue through controlling the pace and energy level of the game during a Clubhouse Sound of DiscDog session in the Pawsitive Vybe Club. These audio only live training and QnA sessions are a feature of our community work on Clubhouse. This video and audio below are only my perspective, but there are a bunch of people listening on the other end lending their imagination and good questions to the session.

Check out the audio before the video to give your imagination some exercise and to test it against reality.

Pace of Play to Reinforce Desired Behavior

If you’ve watched me play before on video or listened to some of these Sound of DiscDog sessions, you might notice that my energy level and general pace of play with Obi here is a bit lower and slower than other sessions.

Obi gets too high to catch and drop properly if I really ramp him up. He’s got a fitting nickname of “Space Ship”, coming from Benny of Lego Movie fame. When he gets too high he clamps up on the disc and flings himself around after discs with little regard for the catch.

Be sure to keep the pace of play and general energy level in mind when working on problematic skills. It is an important piece of the puzzle.

Patron’s Choice: Vaulting Principles | Disc Dog Vaulting Concepts

There is a lot more to a vault than the definition. There is a reason you can’t just watch a YouTube video and get an understanding of the vaulting process. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you know how to do it, or how it is done; performance is not understanding. This is very evident when it comes to vaulting.

Do Then Cue – Putting Behaviors Before the Cued Drop for Proofing Purposes

Cue Before Do is standard operating procedure for teaching a cued Drop with discs. Cue Before Do means that you ask for and get the Drop behavior before giving the cookie which is “Do” – throw, next move, bite, etc. Because disc dog freestyle is really nothing more than a series of long behavior chains, many of which are dependent upon having the disc out of the dog’s mouth to complete, this makes complete sense and is logically sound.

The Sound of DiscDog | An Epic Warmup

Welcome to the Sound of DiscDog… The Sound of DiscDog is an audio only live Jam & QnA session on Clubhouse. Clubhouse is audio only, so the jam session and QnA has no video, no images, and no text. This is an exercise in imagination and in experiencing training sessions with only auditory inputs. It’s quite interesting and illuminating. This is our 3rd session, and this video is a Warmup with Eppie and is a featured segment in DiscDoggerWeekly #28
