Canine Frisbee provides challenges, both mental and physical, and is fun for dogs; it can also help a canine feel that it is living a full and productive life. The shared activity of canine frisbee will create a special bond of friendship and mutual respect that will help both canine and human relate better to one another. Basic obedience is important.

​

Since it is imperative that your dog be healthy before attempting any strenuous disc activity, check with your veterinarian before starting out.

Freestyle Frisbee is challenging both in moves of dog and handler but also includes music choice, choreography as well. Teams competing in Freestyle will receive a maximum of 90 seconds per round.  Routines must last at least 60 seconds to be scored. Competitors in Freestyle are permitted to use up to five discs. Timing begins when the disc is placed in flight, or the canine attempts to catch or pick-up a disc placed on the ground, or takes the disc from any part of a thrower’s or canine’s body. Countdown of time remaining will be uniform for all competitors: 60 seconds, 30 seconds, 10 seconds and time.

​

Distance/Accuracy is a fast-paced event in which teams attempt to score points by completing as many catches as possible within various scoring zones in the time allotted. The diamond-shaped Distance/Accuracy field has scoring zones located at 10, 20, 30, and 40 yards from the throwing line. Distance/Accuracy competitors are allowed 60 seconds and one disc to score as many points as possible.
