Sarge is 11 months and about 90lbs. He loves to play Frisbee. I have been wondering if this is bad for him, as he jumps very high and land on his hind legs. Does anybody know?

Throw the frisbee lower along the ground so he doesn't have to jump so high, much easier on their joints

Stosh loves frisbee too but like Shade said I throw the frisbee along the ground and he chases it. If I do throw it in the air, I throw it at his head height so he doesn't have to leave the ground for it. Jumping at any age isn't good but can be especially harmful in dogs under 2 yrs old. The growth plates at the ends of the bones haven't finished growing yet and you don't want to damage them. By the way, I get Jawz Hyperflite discs for Stosh and he loves them!

Max is 98lbs, and 8 years old, hes obsessed with the frisbee, I time it right when he starts running to throw it so all he has to do is reach for it, all 4`s are on the ground, also use a kong Frisbee, a gal at class has 2 Ausies, they were playing with a cheap plastic frisbee that was broken, freak accident and one of them lost an eye from the broken frisbee
