The Flying Disc is a frisbee the player can throw for their dog to catch. A disc is used mainly in a park where there is more room to practice than, say, in your home. This practicing will be for the Disc Competition, a frisbee contest. To throw a disc, you simply drag the disc towards the bottom of the screen, quickly move it upwards then release the touch screen. The faster you move the disc upwards and the higher you drag the disc before release, the further and higher it will go.
The discs come in different shapes (and in some discs, sizes), and every disc comes in a different color. Every disc belongs to the Sports category. You can buy the Red Flying Disc and Blue Flying Disc in the Pet Supply & Discount Shops. The disc can be caught by a dog either by walking towards it, jumping, or even flipping for it. There are fifteen in total discs to collect in Nintendogs, while there are twelve to collect in Nintendogs + Cats.
Colors
Each disc set comes in five different models, Basic, Sponsor, Aerodisc, Camo, and Special. Each of the discs in these models have no differences other than color (besides the Special discs, which come in different shapes and sizes).
