In this course, I share some common knowledge, research, and anecdotal experience to bring you awareness about best practices in disc dogging. It has taken me over 15 years to accumulate this knowledge. I believe everyone that plays disc (or any other games) with their dog should have knowledge of how to play safely and knowledge of care options that will extend your dog's active life. That's why I made this course's content free to access!

If you have the means and would like to do a “pay what you can,” you can venmo me here (@flyingcanines). I really appreciate it as I put a ton of effort into this course, despite knowing I wasn’t going to charge a dime for it. If you don’t have the extra cash and want to show appreciation, please share my online course website.

I truly believe disc is one of the safest dog sports for your dog to enjoy long term, when proper care is taken. One of my favorite things about disc is how much you can adjust the game and still enjoy the game with your dog at any age.
