Nekaj Madžarov, ki je prijavljenih, dela predvsem dog dancing. Kar pa še ne pomeni, da psi dobro lovijo frizbije 
Ali da ljudje znajo metati
Cacy, smo dobili odgovor od Chris. Cel roman!
Poglej v knjigo od Sabine in Marcusa (petrco jo ima), tam je tudi razlaga. Sicer v nemscini, ampak najbrz so tudi slike. Mimogrede, Chris je na Nizozemskem. Ne vem, kdo je, niti ne vem, ce je moski ali zenska.
Thanks for the vid, Jean.
You can clearly see on this video (especially at 1:18) that Bode sort of drags his rear body behind him, without pushing of with his rear legs. This results in thee vertical body position during the jump, which automatically ends up in a landing on the rear legs. Now, not everyone seems to agree on how a perfect landing should look like (some people say front legs should hit the ground first, others say rear legs first, other say all four at the same time etc...) but , I think, pretty much everyone agrees that it's not ideal to catch up the whole impact with the rear legs.
First of, yes, that upside down throwing is a good start. It is kind of hard to describe, but imagine a dog that jumps from under the disc, relatively vertical to the disc. When the disc is thrown normally, the rim is pointed down. When the dog goes up, he can still catch the disc on the rim, since that part points towards him. Now, if we turn the disc upside down, the rim is pointing upwards. This means that the dog can't catch it if he comes from below. The only way to catch it then, is by "flying" higher than the disc, so he can catch it from above, because the rim is pointed upwards.
If he wants to get higher than the disc, he has to get his rear up to get a more horizontal "flight". The vertical flight doesn't work here. I hope you can visualize it. Marcus and Sabine have described it very well in their book, which is translated in a couple of languages, but not in English as far as I know... You might want to check it out though; there are some good pictures in it that illustrate it pretty well.
My aussie used to crash on pretty much every high throw because he didn't use his rear legs at all. He only used his front paws, and the rest sort of just followed him Wink He didn't seem to 'know' there was anything behind him that was part of his body as well. So I wanted him to be more conscious of his body, so he could use it more efficiently. We definitely got some results from this.
What we did: Put a (long) ladder on the ground, horizontally of course. Now let the dog walk through it, in a way he sets his paws between the rungs. You might want to put some food between the rungs to lure him through. Typically, those dogs that don't seem to be conscious of their rear legs constantly hit the rungs with it when walking through the ladder. Like this, they are constantly getting reminded about their rear legs. Usually, it doesn't take long before these dogs are pulling up their rear legs as well, so they don't hit the rungs. When they've found out about their rear legs, you can raise the ladder a little higher, so they have to pull up their legs even higher. If you are making good progress, you raise the speed a little as well. By doing this exercise frequently, they will get more conscious about their body and the coordination of it. It had amazing results for my aussie. I've been training this with my youngest dog since day one, and I've never had a bad feeling about his jumps yet...
Something else you could do is walking/running stairs with wide steps (5 feet or so) as you can find them in parks or in front of big buildings. Running the stairs up provides a power training for the dog’s rear legs, without having a big impact on the landing. Running the stairs down provides a good landing training, without a big impact. What you also might try is walking the stairs up backwards. This doesn't only provide a power training, it also requires some coordination. With a more trained rear body, he is more likely to use it on his jumps to get the rear up as well...
This really helped me out with my aussie and it does seem to work for my youngster as well. Let me know if it works for Bode Smiley
