Luma does it. It has to be a size that is large enough to be visible while moving through the air but not so large they can't easily catch it in their tiny mouths.
I have her sit first, hold the treat and show it to her, tell her "ready catch?" And make the motion like I'm starting to throw it. That way she is paying attention. Then I throw it and say catch. If she catches it I say good catch!!!! If she misses I tell her to leave it so she doesn't get the treat until she catches it.
I started with a very short distance between the two of us and now she can catch it from about 7 ft away. |
