DiscDogger Weekly #4

Ron August 2, 2020

Sweet show for you guys this week… We’ve pulled some stuff from the archives, digging up some Polka Puppy lessons – HoopA Hoop is an Over or Vault that travels through a hoop made from your arms or body. A Hoop expresses great teamwork and connection between dog and handler. Most Hoops are done... More and BiteworkBitework is an activity or a game that consists of biting and dropping a toy on cue. Cued Bites and cued Drops (and Gives) can be used to teach and reinforce many behaviors.... More (more on the puppy front to come…). Some serious throwing videos and a few training jams. Hope you dig the show.

You might want to watch this on YT to have better access to the descriptions and the playlist…

Lessons all have links in the descriptions to lessons on the Pawsitive Vybe Disc and Dogs Blog. Most lessons are accessible only to Patrons of Pawsitive Vybe, but if you dig the show and want a little more you should become a patron to get full access and some goodies to boot.

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.
