We were peer pressured into entering a local UFO Disc Dog Competition this weekend. Now keep in mind that we have only dabbled in disc for funsies and I never had any intention of competing. We entered both novice Freestyle and Toss & Catch and won both classes. There were only 3 novice dogs entered in T&C and only us entered in freestyle, so that helped a bit. However, we were told that next time we HAVE to enter at the Pro level instead of Novice because she is not a novice dog.
Here's a crappy cell-phone video. Now keep in mind that I put high reward on bringing discs back to me, which is a big mistake in free-style even though it is ideal in T&C. So we need to work on dropping the disc the FIRST time I ask, not running back to me and ramming me in the stomach when I refuse to grab it from her. Also, we need like a bajillion more tricks!
