What Is The Best Flooring For Disc Dog Competition?

By Lisa Hobbie Created: April, 2021 - Modified: September, 2024

Disc dog competitions are such a great way for a dog and dog handler to strengthen their bond by allowing them to work together on things like distance catching, choreographed freestyle catching, and more. A mix of throwing, accuracy techniques, jump and chase routines, and other activities demonstrate strength, obedience, and relationship between dog and handler. Whether participating in disc dog individually or working on teams with a group or club, having the right kind of flooring on which to practice or compete makes a huge difference.

Greatmats offers a large selection of suitable flooring disc dog products, with the following 5 being among the best:
  1. Interlocking Dog Agility Mats
  2. V-Max Artificial Grass Turf
  3. Play Time Playground Turf with 2.25 Inch Pad
  4. Play Time Playground Turf with 1.25 Inch Pad
  5. Pet Heaven Artificial Grass Turf Roll
Any of these 5 products would offer comfort, durability, and ease of movement for a dog and their handler, and deciding which direction you go depends on your budget, size and material preference, and style preference.
