Bloeme has put together a great book for the beginner and expert alike. He provides insights on ways to teach your dog to play frisbee and perform tricks. He also uses many personal examples from his experiences which help bring things into focus. If your looking to teach your dog frisbee just for fun or perhaps to compete this is a good place to start.

We really enjoyed this book as we taught our lab how to catch and return a frisbee. The book is fairly concise and has quite a few practical tips to encourage your dog to perform the tricks. The author uses some entertaining examples to illustrate his points. We found it to be a great introduction to learning to play frisbee with our dog.
