Disc Dog

A form of dog sport that was initiated here in the U.S. out in sunny California.  It has grown quite popular worldwide over the past 25 or so years.  These dogs and their handlers are probably among the showiest of all forms of dog sports, as they perform for “oohs” and “ahhhs” at professional sports half-time shows and other venues.  In addition to performing at competitions around the U.S.  this is the dog sport where a human handler works with their very skilled canine to demonstrate the discipline of  Disc “Frisbees” in ways and for distances many of us have never seen before.  There are two basic forms of competition:  Toss and Fetch and Freestyle.  Each discipline takes hundreds of hours of practice to become accomplished at.
