Let’s explore a couple of the many UpDog games.
Frizgility
Frizgility, part of the UpDog Challenge, is a game where a dog navigates a series of obstacles, such as jumps and tunnels, placed on a curved arc, and then attempts to catch a flying disc, either rolled or thrown within a designated catch zone. Points are awarded for each obstacle successfully completed and for accurate disc catches, with the game emphasizing both speed and precision.
Throw N Go
The goal of the game is for the dog team member to catch rollers or throws in various scoring zones to accumulate points. The game has specific rules, including starting positions, timing, and disc handling. Handlers must adhere to the throwing line and an “honour line” system to ensure fair play. Players have 60 seconds to achieve as many catches as possible, with detailed guidelines for scoring and invalid throws.
Scoring is zone-based:
0-10 yards: 1 point
10-20 yards: 3 points
20-30 yards: 4 points
30-40 yards: 5 points
40-50 yards: 6 points
Additional rules clarify the validity of rollers, the definition of catch zones, and the role of judges in making final decisions can be found on the UpDog Challenge website.
