The pap's mouth is too small to catch a flying disc or frisbee without doing some damage. It waits for the toy to drop because it's a toy breed that was bred to be a companion and lap dog - not do 'work'. You might want to look at a different activity like agility that would be more suited to it's body type.

Start out by holding it while she takes it if you have to and praise her with good catch. Get to the point where you are a few inches away and just barely tossing it to her. This worked on my puppy. After she is catching, here is a website that will explain how to get her to catch a flying disk. Hope this helps... You have to start by getting her to catch a ball or one of her toys
