Developing Sequences for Big Dogs

Hey Ron,

I want to bounce some ideas on trying to set up a 5 disc routine without having to scramble too much for discs. It just seems like in order to highlight Aryan's speed, I have to send the discs far- That means, I am practically sprinting to collect!!! The key would be for us to get some slick close-in work and work our way outwards. What kind of close in work would look cool with a big dog and not make him look slow?

Thanks

Krishnan

Getting a Drop with One Disc

I have a question regarding the "Two Targets is a must" statement in the Behaviors section. 

I have a dog who believes everything you write in that article.  He knows that the sooner he gives me the behavior I'm looking for, the sooner the other piece of plastic will fly.  It works great!  He's happy, I'm happy, and my discs are happy (i.e. not destroyed).

However, when we switch to single disc (where two discs are not allowed), his behavior is radically different.  He plays that very frustrating keep-away game where he gets a few feet from me, and then he just murders the disc.

What are my motivational options when only one target is allowed?
