Discussing Dogs

The best way to teach a dog to catch a frisbee is to first make sure he or she is a fast runner with expanding jaws. Streamlined animals tend to have less wind resistance when they hit that jumping off point and go sailing into the air. Pitbulls perform well as grabbers, but greyhounds are more aerodynamic.

Bring the dog to a park with enough room to give it a good run. Take out the frisbee and get the dog's attention with it. Wave it in his face or something. Once you have him going crazy for it, wind up and then fake a throw. That gives the dog time to catch up with the actual throw, which you aim over his head but within grabbing range. The dog never checks to see if you really threw the frisbee until he reaches the optimum distance. Otherwise, if he's too near you when you throw it, he won't be able to catch up with it.

Once the dog knows what you're doing, you can train it to run at the count of three. Wind up. Count. One. Two. On 'three', fake the throw. Dog goes running. After a while, you don't even have to fake the throw.
