Disc Dog Sport

---

Disc Dog (a.k.a. canine‑disc) is a high‑energy sport where a handler and their dog work as a team to catch discs with speed, accuracy, and flair. 

It blends athleticism, training, and showmanship, turning a simple game of fetch into a competitive—and spectacular—event for dogs of every size and background. 

 Whether you’re looking for a playful backyard hobby or an adrenaline‑charged competition, disc dog sport delivers sky‑high excitement, wagging tails, and a community that cheers every spectacular catch.  

 Disc Dog sprang up in the 1970s (Dave Romey & Ashley Whippet famously stormed a baseball game, converting millions of viewers). Today clubs span every continent, hosting leagues, weekend trials, and world championships. The scene is celebrated for its inclusive, upbeat vibe—rookie teams often share the same field with world champions.
