A super simple and elegant 3 step process for teaching any dog to jump through a hoop of your arms with the cutest puppy in the world, the Polkanado.
This is historical footage recovered from our cloud archive, the Polkanado puppy learning the Hoop behavior. This was her first shot at the skill and you can see she got it right away. Now part of that is because she is not only super cute, but she's super smart, but this simple 3-step Hoop technique we're going to cover right here is extremely elegant and effective.

Back to the Future: Eppie reaches back to 2003 for a sweet disc dog freestyle sequence. This is an old school Leilani move. I'm thinking we'll be putting it close to the end and wrapping it up in some other Lei Lei stuff. Hope you enjoy.

Ron & Epic demonstrate a simple method for reducing a dog’s speed on approach. This piece was recycled from a live stream attempt this spring.
Nothing gets in the way of patience and methodical movement like pattern training in dog frisbee. When a rabid frizbeast knows what is coming and where it is going, odds are the dog is going to go for it, and hard. This is one of the problems that I have with freestyle routines and it gets worse later into the year. By World Finals time my frizbeasts are cutting corners and running on autopilot which can and does cause timing problems for the team.
