As per Mirror and Ready's friendly challenge, I'll be hosting a flying disk catching contest! Rules- Up to two petz entered per person - Set a timer for 1 min - Grab 1 flying disk to use for this contest - Count how many times they catch the flying disk - Use your first time-- no do overs (but you can train before officially starting the timer) - Show closes on 12/6 PostFor each pet: - your pet's name (show name and call name if desired!) - how many times they caught the flying disk in 1 minute - some photos of your pet catching (or trying to catch) the disk-- no rules for photos, can have backgrounds or not and you don't have to include all your catch photos (since I know its hard to time)-- but must have at least ONE photo present in entry of the pet Results1st -- Mirror and Ready with 3 catches 2nd -- Conifer and Chia and Falcon with 2 catches 3rd -- Corsair she tried! <3

Mirror Caught: 3 She really wanted to just run away with the flying disk....! Instead of giving it back to me. I chased her around for a good while-- I'm not sure how we managed to get 3 catches! Ready Caught: 3 Missed the first disk toss and then got completely discouraged from trying again. I coaxed him into trying again and he'd just run around stupidly. The last 30 seconds he managed to shine and made 3 catches in a row with no misses! He's def got a "too good for you" attitude. Better not let this fame get to his head!

Conifer: Caught: 2 I had high expectations for Conifer because of how much he loves catching the Frisbee, but he wasn't so serious about the 60 second interval and couldn't hear my frantic coaching in my head and almost only caught 1! he seriously caught the second Frisbee with only 2 seconds to spare! it was close xP Chia Caught: 2 Frisbee loving lassie Chia was in hot pursuit of the Frisbee, putting forth a little more effort than Conifer but still falling short from a higher glory by missing what would have been her third catch. She still looks like a majestic winner in the picture of the missed Frisbee as she floats back down <3

Question, are we allowed to take the frisbee out of their mouths or do we have to wait for them to drop it?

You can take it outta their mouths :) I don't do this because my dogz get super upset at me so I let them drop it naturally. Is it faster for you to take the toy from the dog? edit: Buck I think used like 3 flying disks once ?? Haha I just used one for mine.

I dunno tbh; if I'm in a rush or training I take it from them then pet and pick them up if they're being arses about it. If they're already coming towards me with it I don't touch them though, cos then they get distracted. (So much for sleeping; my excuse is tomorrow is going to be highly unpleasant and I can't sleep anyway)

Using three disks at once sounds like it might be a pretty good idea! my dogz were a little stroppy after they caught it, and for some reason they wouldn't drop it and I couldn't take it from them for several seemingly long seconds. I'll take to try that trick next time

I'll take to try that trick next time :) I should probably specify in the rules but since I guess we all seemed to just use one flying disk, I guess the rules for this one will be One Flying Disk only haha! Just to be fair. Taking it from your dog's mouth is okay though!
