Small Dog Challenges

At the Buckeye Bash earlier this month, I took the opportunity to speak with Deneane Hart and Robin Herman about the challenges specific to small dogs in this sport.  

July 4th Skyhoundz Local

Every 4th of July, the city of Dublin hosts a Skyhoundz Local as part of their Independence Day celebration.

This is a Distance & Accuracy (Toss & Catch) competition.

How Demos Work

It’s demo season! The Southern Ohio Flying K9s typically do 5 or 6 demos throughout the season, and we have several on the calendar.  Demos are wonderful!  Everyone should participate in demos, and here are a few reasons why.

Pop 360 Throw

If you’re a member of the Disc Dog Discussions Facebook group, you may have seen this video posted by Fabio Mereu.  In the comments, he posted a tutorial on the kick used in the video.  

Dog Catch with Chris Mashburn

Chris Mashburn generously took time out of his competition day schedule to discuss one of the dog catches he does with Mindy.

Nail Trims

As athletes, it’s important we keep our dogs in top shape. Something many people aren’t aware of though, is the importance of toenail length for canine athletes. 

Throw N Go

Throw N Go is the UpDog Challenge version of Toss & Catch.  The handler throws from behind a throwing line, and the dog earns points based on how far from the throwing line they are when they catch the disc.  

Freestyle Flow with Andrea Rigler

Andrea Rigler VERY kindly agreed to analyze her freestyle routine with Moxie for us, discussing adding flow to a freestyle routine.  

Buckeye Bash 2016

Buckeye Bash 2016 is in the books, and it was a blast!  Friday was hot & sunny for the Andrea Rigler seminar, where everyone learned a lot.  Saturday was rainy for the Skyhoundz Classic Qualifier.  Saturday night a new after-disc game was invented at the Bednar’s after-party.
