 Dogobie vs Gummabone October 23, 2007
As I stated in some other reviews, my dog loves frisbees. We have two ultimate 185g regular, one Gummabone, two "competition standards" + two competition training standards and one Dogobie.
We play with those a lot, if i let my dog to choose which one, She always take "Gummabone" and second favorite is "competition standard" and of course the old one "ultimate". I look around for the best one. For me it is Gummabone due the it floats on water (the other competitors usually not), it is flexible as Dogobie, but you can do same regular trick as with other (ultimate/cts/cs). Dogobie is for short/curved tricks and sometimes it is quite uncomfortable to make long straight fly of the disk.
My dog usually get bored with this one due the not so precise flying landing and wind usually cause disk to be not so areodynamic. We use it at home for short room throws.
So that's why i rate this product so low. There are more better, easier to throw disk designed for dog. Standards competition ones are for competition, so train with training one, it is more "soft" easier for dog's tooth to penetrate. Of course "plastic" always cause damage on gums, so the "textile" or "gummy" ones are usually more suitable for long trainnings and safe fun ;) Six year with my frisbee maniak and about 20 tested disk, teach me to choose the "competition" and "Gummabone" one.
Amazon offer all of them.
So finally it is up your dog.
 Best throw & catch disc for my dog! August 30, 2007
THis is a soft frisbee-style disc, so it won't cut your dog's mouth or gums. It flies perfect if you throw it right, just need a little practice like any thing else. My Weimaraner bolted at full speed (which is FAST!) and would just get to it in time or it would hover long enough for her to catch up and enjoy a leap in the air! We tried many types of discs, this was/is the BEST by far! Great for the beach, it floats. Great for pavement, it bends. Great for long distance throwing too! Speaking from experience, this is a great product for your athletic pooch!
Great little disc August 17, 2007
I am not sure why the other reviewers experience is what it is, but I love these discs. I bought several of them for my Aussies. They fly far and straight. I managed to get them to hover, but the discs will eventually wear out with heavy use and then the flight characteristics do start to fail, which is why I purchased several at a time. 6 will last me a year of moderate daily use. They last on average of about 1-2 months each, with moderate daily use, before I replace them. Don't let your dog use them as a chew toy either or they won't last a day... They also float which is great around water. This is one a a few discs that my dogs aren't afraid of. I used a hard disc on my first dog and they became scared of them, so I switched to soft discs...
Not what I was expecting July 5, 2007

My young collie has already learned to catch a generic frisbee, and it is now her favorite "fetch" activity. I was concerned that the hard disc would damage her teeth, so I thought I would try the Dogobie. While it is certainly softer, the Dogobie just doesn't fly any where near as well as a generic frisbee. I can't get it to fly straight without throwing it very hard, and at that speed my dog can't catch up to it. Forget about making it hover, which is what you really need in order to teach a dog to make a catch.
