Vlog: Ball Flingers – Love ’em or Hate ’em?

Ball flingers – love ’em or hate ’em?

In this video for my dog training friend Matt Donovan, creator of Fling-Less Feb, I discuss good ball flinger etiquette:

• Looking up before throwing – is there plenty of space with no people & dogs around?
• Are other dogs interested in the thrower? Stop throwing and walk on by to help other owners

And 5 ways you can use your flinger in a more constructive way:

1. Retrieve your flinger
2. Can you Sit before I throw the ball?
3. Can you stay in a Sit whilst I throw the ball?
4. Can you switch from a Sit into a Down after I’ve thrown the ball?
5. Can you stop on your way to the thrown ball?

Check out Vodka my Border Collie and I demonstrating the games – then try them with your own dog!
