I just found out that we're going on vacation for the next few days. I'll be back on Sunday though. Would it be okay if I'm a bit late on the updates? I'll try to catch up with the lessons on Sunday/Monday. I hope that's not a problem!

Nope, not a problem at all! Have fun on vacation! Maple has been added to the list, Koda! Edit: Alright...I finished this and was too excited to NOT post it! Plus I know you guys are impatiently waiting Alright guys, here we go! Day 1 ~ Frisbee!First off, be sure to feed your dog before you practice, if your dog is hungry this might be harder And then you have to decide which frisbee you would like to start with, green or yellow. Take your dog to your backyard, and take the frisbee out. Be sure that you have it set so that there are no hosts in “character” scenes, that would only really distract your dog. Before tossing the frisbee, play with your dog with it. Let him/her sniff it, carry it around, and get used to it. I would like to see at least 2 pictures of this Once your dog is familiarized with the frisbee, give it a good toss, and note what your dog does. Most follow it around for a while, and sometimes it will take 5 tosses even for the dog to realize that following the frisbee isn’t going to win him any attention! If he does realize this, he might try different things, most likely either pouncing on the frisbee(if he does catch it this way, pet him a little bit and throw the frisbee again, usually they can’t continue pouncing on it and try other ways to catch it, since they see this earns them attention!). If your dog DOES try and jump to catch it, pet him whether or not he is successful! He will get the concept eventually I would like to see 5 or more pictures of your dog catching or attempting to catch the frisbee Try and keep your dog focused, and keep all distractions away. If your dog becomes distracted by something, try getting him refocused on the frisbee. You can either pick him up and set him down quickly, or wave the frisbee around near him, so he’ll notice it. Usually either way works. Also, if your dog just totally refuses to jump to catch the frisbee, you can try bringing out a dog of yours that is good at frisbee, let them get to know each other for a minute, and then give the frisbee a good toss! With a little luck, your dog that’s good at frisbee will jump to try and catch the frisbee, and your newbie will catch on! If you don’t have any dogs that are good at frisbee, and your dog can’t seem to catch on, let me know. I have a good amount of dogs that are good at frisbee in every version After you’re done practicing, take your dog inside for some water, and playtime! He may need a nap before he’s ready for playing, so if he wants to sleep just let him rest Tomorrow we will be working on slightly more complicated frisbee for the dogs that are catching on. If your dog can't seem to get the concept of frisbee, there will also be another section for dogs still figuring it out EDIT: Please start off each new post about each dog(if you have more than one dog in this put them all in one post) like... Dogs name here ~ Day 1That way its easy to keep track Thanks! ~Vanilla

Shasta ~ Day 1Well. Shasta wasn't hungry when I gave her the food bowl, so we went out into the backyard to play with the frisbee! So, I put the frisbee out in front of her, so she would notice it. At first she was scared of it, then she went and grabbed it and started running around and playing with it. Then...she dug a hole XD And you know where that leads...she buried the frisbee. XD She dug it back up soon after though, so we could get started! So I gave the frisbee a good toss, and she was off! For a little bit she chased it, but realized quickly that it wasn't working. She put her front half to the ground, and then jumped and caught it! I missed the catch though But then I tossed it again, and she attempted to catch it...when it had just landed XD! /fail So, I kept trying to get her to jump again. She kept getting into position, but the frisbee had moved to a different height. Eventually she just got bored and started cleaning herself, and no matter how hard I tried, she completely ignored the frisbee XD After she started cleaning herself and refused to stop, I took her inside. She drank some water, and then laid down for a minute. And then she started cleaning herself again and rolling around on the floor. I figured it was fleas, but I checked her over and couldn't find any? I let her play with the auto rolling ball for a minute, but she was just tired and yet refused to sleep, so I let her go I'll be back with pictures tomorrow...I don't have time to edit them together right now ~Vanilla

My dogs usually do that when they need to eat something. Or want to eat something.
I'm pretty sure I'm getting her, she PM'd me about it and everything, but that was like a week ago. The thread says all adopted but I haven't received her yet. If I don't soon, I'll PM her and see what's up.

I'll remember that ^^ Thanks Urg, I hate when that happens! I'm kind of in the same situation, someone on PKC had a mutt litter up awhile ago, and I was the only one who applied for the P-reg mutt, and she said like a month ago she was going to choose owners lol. I PM'd her, but nothing back yet :/ ~Vanilla
