Disc Dog! The Complete Guide,
By Jerry Ingram (Southern Oregon) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Disc Dogs! The Complete Guide (Paperback)
I a a certified dog trainer. I have always worked with dogs and always loved frisbee. I had only put the two together to play fetch. I needed a book that could help me with the very basics and give me an idea how to get started. This book coupled with the websites mentioned was the right book.
There was a bit too much time spent on author's history and some other subjects. Also demo photos should be done with contrasting backgrounds to the subjects. You'll get the idea, but too much distraction. Might be just me,because I am also a photographer. I didn't buy the book as a history. I want to learn the trade.

Dog World Magazine Review "Spot" On,
This review is from: Disc Dogs! The Complete Guide (Paperback)
After reading an excellent review of Disc Dogs! The Complete Guide in the February issue of Dog World Magazine (four out of four paws), I purchased a copy. The review was "spot" on! The book is very well written and loaded with useful information and amazing photos of disc dogs in flight. What a cool sport! This book offers a great introduction to canine disc sports and is an enjoyable read.
