And yes, I would never attempt this with a dog that wasn’t mature and in prime condition. I’ve included another picture just to highlight the mountainside that he routinely retrieves a kong from the bottom of. This was done over months of conditioning and these days it’s not unusual for him to make 10-15 trips down the face of these cliffs. This frsbee session was after a 3 hour hike with our off leash dog walk club. His energy level and drives are incredible. http://www.freepixxhost.com/images/13Frisbee_March_14_2010_.jpg And Jamie – I agree, the harnessing of this Frisbee prey drive would be a beautiful thing. Just for fun, I’m going to work him in some lower level obedience today with it and see what we can come up with.

The will is definately there- anything that flies through the air totally sets off his prey drive. He just completely lacks mouth-eye coordination. He tries so hard though! One day we'll catch one! I can feel it! start with rolling it, really helps them learn where their jaws are. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T__7U2dkBzM The very beginning of this vid has Turbo chasing it rolling. We still play this way most of the time because he really enjoys chasing it like that. Then this, just for fun. I've posted it before, but thats never stopped me in the past.:smile: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CVBbDiQCKc
