Welcome! There are a couple things you really want to make sure you have: a solid toss and fetch (single disc) game, multi-disc play, a good tug, and a good drop. From there, the awesome thing about disc dog is that once you have the basics down, nobody can tell you what to do next but you! If you're ready to start freestyle, watch videos online and/or go to playdates and competitions to learn more. Might be a bit of a drive for you, but there are playdates nearly weekly in Rochester. If you can make one, someone can help you out! If you have any specific questions, be sure to ask, but there is a wealth of info here already, so be sure to read the archives.

Welcome Emily and Whinnie!

Yes, if you're able to get to a competition or playdate, anyone there from the group will be happy to help you.

Emily posted on CL and someone forwarded her post to me. I directed her to our forum! She is only 16 and doesn't have her license yet. She lives near LaX/Sparta, WI. :D

Hmm, well if travel is limited, video will have to do. If you can video yourself and your dog playing, we can offer advice that way too!
