Yeah, I'd love to know too. I've been trying to train my dog to get the frisbee, but the most he'll do is catch it, if it's close to him, and then drop it to the ground.

Tennis balls are kinda soft and squishy, so she may not see a plastic disk as appealing to pick up. You might want to start off with a gummy disc, or a dental rope frisbee. They might not fly as well but she might be more inclined to pick them up since they are more chewy.

Frisbee competition folk say you can also feed your dog out of their nontoxic hooplah frisbees, to I guess make the dog have an affinity for it, but generally my akita was more inclined to catch and hang onto the rope things. I personally never graduated to a regular Frisbee because he would have just cracked the shit out of it.

My dog will fetch the kong disc things. I hear those are supposed to be easier on a dog's mouth too, so maybe try one of those.

The squirrel flyers fly a little better than the rope ones and still seem to appeal to a lot of dogs. We've never graduated to "preople" frisbees, but I don't really care.

granite gear makes a soft padded frisbee that our dog really liked. plus when they are done you can sit on it

She won't pick it up or can't? Franklin would chase frisbees and then leave them there because he couldn't pick them up. They were too much of a puzzle for him. He couldn't catch them either because he was way too slow. But I got one of those Kong Disc things Mushroom mentioned and he can pick it up because its rubbery and doesn't just slide around when he tries.

no don't do that, more than likely she will just ignore teh frisbee once the PB runs out and is no longer there. this happened with our pup.

just encourage with treats, though some dogs just dont do frisbees

My dog is a big fan of the Kong frisbees in puppy size, even though she's a 75lb doberman. They're easier for her to catch and they'll fly pretty far, plus she can fold them over and chew the hell out of them without really damaging the frisbee. All the real person frisbees she has she will chase and catch but they cut the hell out of her mouth and a decent amount of them were making her gums and tongue bleed, which might be why your dog doesn't like normal frisbees. There are also these which have a hole in the center that my dog uses to see through when she carries it but I'd definitely suggest trying the Kong frisbees first and seeing how that works out.

yeah, the hard plastic people frisbees are hard for dogs to pick up. they make ones with the raised bone in the middle that are easier for pooches to grab as well. Nylabone i think.

Try working with her in short distances with the frisbee and get her used to playing with it. She's probably like: WTF is this thing, and what am i supposed to do with it?

Someday when I have a dog, I will use this training guide. There is a section on disc selection too.

Soft, relatively durable, cloth frisbees that fly very well.

Strakha's link there is just about perfect

Scroll up a bit to see how to introduce the disc to the dog. Make her love that thing
