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.

If you're intrested or have already been competing in Canine Frisbee, this is a must have book! The pictures are great and the book is extremely infromative on subjects like the history of the Frisbee as well as Canine Frisee, how to start training your dog to play Frisbee, the different types of Canine Frisbees, and advanced throws you can use in your routine.

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.

This book covers the history of the sport, teaches you how to throw a disc and to how to train your dog to catch a disc. The pictures alone make the book worth having.
This is a must have for anyone interested in learning how to teach their dog to catch a disc.

This is a beautifully done book, with fantastic photography of athletic dogs in action, to say nothing of the men and women who are working with them. You've gotta see it. "Disc Dogs" offers encyclopedic coverage and great advice.

I believe that "Disc Dogs" is THE most complete book on this subject that I have ever seen and read! It has an easy to read format, great pictures, explanation of terms (for the everyday person) and the complete history of the sport so far. I could not believe that the disc that they use to play with could EVER withstand all of that slobber and teeth gnashing! It will be a great gift for the holidays!
