TO BE HELD IN THE OUTSIDE RING
(Rain Date 5/13/2012)
(Disc Dog 1) is an introductory 4 hour seminar.
The goal of this seminar is to teach the handler and their dog how to safely throw and catch a flying disc. (Dogs should be interested in chasing toys/balls/discs)
This four-hour seminar will cover the tools of the trade (which discs to use), a throwing program for the handler, and a method to teach their dog to catch safely and reliably. By the end of the seminar the participants will be able to enjoy a friendly catch, play some really neat games, and even compete with their best friend.
DD2 (Disc Dog 2)
This seminar is aimed at dogs and handlers who have completed Intro to Disc Dog (DD1), or already have some experience throwing, catching and retrieving discs. Attention is paid to each handler/dog team so that they can work on particular areas of disc dog development. Emphasis will be placed on playing specific games including distance and accuracy, bulls eye, and some thoughts on Freestyle.

Marty Levy Bio
Marty Levy has been competing with disc dogs for more than 15 years. His Border Collies, Nan, Penny, Sally and Mollie have won numerous awards in the sport. Nan, Penny and now Meg frequently demonstrate the sport and Meg is presently fine tuning her freestyle routines. Marty also competes in agility with those same border collies. When not teaching seminars showing handlers how to throw and dogs how to catch flying discs, he is a professor of human orthopaedics where he spends much of his time teaching orthopaedic residents (using the success based models that he uses to teach our dogs). Marty also has contributed to Clean Run magazine, writing articles on injuries to dogs participating in agility and evaluations of competition seesaws. He has a good slant on what makes a dog succeed, physically and mentally; and humans too. He can teach anyone to throw a Frisbee. He lives in Westchester, with his wife Lorraine, his pack of border collies and occasionally a visit from his son, who is back east in medical school.
