Only reason I'd say to wait is that your puppy isn't fully vaccinated yet. I'm no expert but I believe 16 weeks is the age where they can safely go out to public places. You wouldn't want to risk her picking up a disease at the course that could've been prevented by waiting.

My advice would be to extend that sit/stay to any time the bag is down. This will make your life much easier throughout the round (especially when you get to the point of less training and more playing) and give her the consistency that is needed for her to understand the ground rules. When the bag is up, however, leave her be. I use a flexi lead to give some freedom and unless my pup is pulling (not allowed) I totally let him be when the bag is up. This is his 'free time' to run, sniff, etc. |

Got my dog when she was 5 weeks old, she's now 5 years old. She is a american bulldog mix. I take her everywhere with me. Never had a problem with her on the course, even though she loves catching frisbee. She quickly learned the difference between her toys and my discs, i only started playing 2 months ago. I never leash her, and always pick up after her. She carriesher own water in her pack and I let her drag around one of her frisbees I'll throw every once in awhile. she mostly just chills out and tries to find a shady spot when I'm throwing.
My advice is not to worry so much on getting her "trained" just get her comfortable on the course, and over time she's going to learn what is and isn't acceptable, she is only a pup after all. |

im going to vote: keep your dog off the course.
do you see dogs on golf courses, basketball courts, or in public swimming pools? no. yes we all know you love your dog, but we do not love your dog. this game involves picking things up off the ground, no matter how well you think you cleaned up the ****, its still there. and if yer dog bites my disc i hope you have a $20 ready. |

And if you're worried about some left over dog poop I've got some bad news for. There are a lot more things that $h#t in the woods besides a dog. Not to mention the rotting animal carcasses I've ran across as well as other vile and nasty stuff I would never stick my hand in and would not be happy to have my disc fall into. And if my dog damages your property of course I'll be responsible for it and pay for any damages. |

You can put me in the dog-free course camp. I love dogs but am not a fan of oblivious owners who think their dog is awesome and wants to share it with the world. Dogs running around off leash while the owner yells for it to "get over here" while I'm trying to putt is grounds for a glove slap and challenge to a dual.
