Training History: Began training and competing with dogs in frisbee since 2001, and is an 11 time Disc Dog World Champion.
Training Tips: Build the relationship and bon with your dog first, thru games and play and make a list of the top 5 or 10 things you dog loves more than anything (and be specific)… Like a tennis ball , Zukes, swimming, etc. Use this list and figure out a way to use those things as a reward when training.
Favorite Pro Plan Product: I love Bright Mind for my older guys… keeps them mentally sharp, or Forti Flora chewable for when I am traveling. It’s a great when the dogs have digestive issues on the road.
