  Disc dog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Disc dog is the more generic name for what is commonly called frisbee dog.
In disc dog competitions, dogs and their human disc throwers compete in events such as distance catching and somewhat choreographed freestyle catching.
Many of the problems that put dogs into shelters and rescue groups, such as hyperactivity, aggression, or destructive or neurotic behavior, are often attributes that can be positively channeled into a sport like frisbee.

 Frisbee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Disc golf discs are usually smaller but denser and are tailored for particular flight profiles to increase/decrease stability and distance.
When it was discovered that dogs enjoyed chasing and retrieving the slow-moving discs, special discs were designed with more pliable material that would better resist a dog's bite.
Disc dog competitions, in which dogs' disc-catching skills are judged, have become quite popular as well.

 Florida State Disc Dog Championship 2002
Many disc dogs will continue to play even if they are badly injured, so competitors are encouraged to be aware of the physical condition of their dog at all times.
If an unleashed dog runs onto the field during competition, time will be suspended and the competitor will be given the choice to 1) continue with the rest of the round, 2) start the round over, 3) move to the end of the order and start the round over after their dog has rested.
Discs will be provided for contestants at all Major Tournaments; however, competitors may choose to provide their own Fastback Frisbee® discs which are stamped with their club, sponsor, or personal logo if they wish.
