Rec’d on YT | Slacker Sunday: Antonis & Meg Guest Star, Play+ Primal Games & More | DiscDog Dojo #138 🐶🥏🥋💤


Take a breather this Slacker Sunday and join us at the DiscDog Dojo for a laid-back session of wisdom, fun, and a little bit of nothing. Tune in tonight at 9PM CT as we welcome special guests Antonis and his Athenian Disc Dog Meg all the way from Greece!

Tonight’s lineup features host Ron Watson and guest stars Antonis & Meg. Taking a well-deserved break tonight is co-host Epic. As always, weather girl 🧁CupCake🧁, sports guy da 👑King👑, and our intern 🐾Ken Du🐾 are ready to slack off with you.

What’s on our agenda of “doing less to achieve more”:

🔄 Play+ Primal Games & Elements of Play: Dive deep into the subtleties and essence of Play+ with Primal Games and Primal Elements of Play.
🦴 Backing Up with Rear Foot Targeting: Learn how to back up your dog using rear foot targeting, a simple yet effective technique.
💬 Your Questions: Got any queries? We’ve got all the time in the world tonight to address them.

Whether you’re new to dog sports or an old paw at it, join us for a mix of thoughtful discussion and playful relaxation.

Patron’s Choice: Shaping a Leaping Catch | Creating a Late Read

Reading the disc is a skill that astute dogs and humans pick up rather quickly. The float, the spin, and the speed can reliably be gauged and predicted after several reps.

Ecological and Enactive Aspects of the Primal Elements of Play+

The Primal Elements of Play are a featured aspect of Play+, and are shaped and honed as a product of embodied experiences. Over the course of the development of this philosophy, JJ Gibson’s Affordance theory and direct perception crossed my path and the Primal Elements seem to be key elements of the perceptual array for direct perception.
