      Get a Frisbee made especially for dogs. These are softer and easier on the dog's mouth. While you can use any disc, it is better for your puppy when you start Frisbee training if you use one that is designed for pets.

      Use the disc as a food or water dish. This helps your dog get used to the disc and associate it with things he loves.

      Once your puppy is accustomed to the Frisbee, start playing little games of tug-o-war with him. Always let your dog win the game, and reward him with lots of praise. This is an important step in Frisbee training as it teaches your pet that the disc is fun.

      Once your puppy is used to playing tug-o-war with the Frisbee, start holding it out at arm level and encouraging him to jump up and grab it. If he grabs hold of it from your hand, let him have it. Reward him with lots of praise when he successfully jumps up and grabs the disc.

      Start tossing the Frisbee short distances. When your pet successfully grabs the disc before it hits the ground, shower him with love and praise. As your dog progresses with his Frisbee training, start throwing the disc further and higher.
