Starghoti 466 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 So I am fairly sure most of you know, or have heard of, Freestyle Frisbee (Disc) with dogs... Well, Jasper and I are inventing a NEW sport based off that. Freestyle Tennisball! He LOVES it. He is having a blast learning new maneuvers and tricks. We just spontaneously started playing around the other day at the dog park. There weren't enough rolicking dogs for him to romp with, so I pulled the ratty old TBall out of my pocket and started improvising. His eyes lit up and he went *Sproing!* and Lost His Mind. I think it should be a sub/sport to Disc, or possibly it's own category. LOL Just having a hard time trying to come up with a name for this newfound Joy/Sport. Flyball is already taken, and JumpBall and FreeBall just sound "inappropriate." And it has to be something catchy and fun sounding that abbreviates well. Hmmm Any ideas anyone? Oh- and I will try to get some video this coming week and post it so you can see what I am talking about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
miz molly 1,800 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Perfect....a video..... when we see exactly what it is that you are doing, it will be easier to figure out a name. However you are sooooooo good at making up new words, I am confident that you will think of something. Can't wait to see what this is all about. I love it when our pups develop a new game.

Starghoti 466 Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 We are actually leaning towards FreeBall Simple and easy and not too "inappropriate" sounding... lol Going to enlist the aid of a friend (npi ) to capture some video at the park today- yay Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chinatola 927 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Good work Star.....I feel for Mina though...looks like she so wanted to play too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starghoti 466 Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Yeah- problem is, she HATES balls. Refuses to play with them. We do play with rope toys and such, and she gets to participate when we are doing obedience and tricks. And ya gotta admit- Jasper has Great Focus! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
