Re: Learning to Catch

Snowballs are light, similar to popcorn, so it travels slower through the air....that makes it easier for the dog to follow it with their eye and time the "catch". Heavier items come at them faster and it's hard for them to react fast enough to catch it when first learning. My previous girlie, Luna, was a really good catcher...she could catch a fast ball every time, no matter how hard you threw it. She was a great goalie, too....my teenage son couldn't score when Luna was goalie....she'd block the shot with her chest and send it right back to the field!
