Stick to “rollers” – throws where the disc never leaves the ground. If your dog doesn’t stay with you, then work on recall (“come”) before working with a disc. Throw the disc in the air and alternate with rollers. Begin with short, slow throws, and be very careful to avoid hitting your dog with the disc. Always use a second disc to entice your dog to drop the one in his mouth, on his own.

Break the Trick Into Steps
Flayton likes to throw the ball in the crate when playing fetch or hide treats inside for the dog to find. Create positive associations with the crate through the use of treats and games. To do it, you need to begin rewarding your dog for moving in the right direction. For instance, if the best your dog can do in the beginning before making mistakes is to follow the treat halfway to the floor, click and treat for that. Then start to give treats only when your dog is closer to the floor. As soon as your dog completes the bow and is standing up, say “yes” or “good” or click your clicker, and give the dog the treat. To take a bow, your dog leans down with its “elbows” and chest touching the ground while its rear end stays up.
Regular training sessions and repetition will help solidify the “sit” command in your dog’s mind. Remember to be patient with yourself and your dog while training. Keep training sessions short and upbeat, and be sure to end on a positive note.
