Think frisbee is just a casual game for dogs? Think again.
Italian photographer Claudio Piccoli captures dogs in mid-air as they chase down frisbees. Each image freezes a perfect moment: paws stretched, eyes locked, pure energy and joy on display.
But it’s not just about action. Claudio’s photos highlight the deep connection between dogs and their humans, showing emotion, trust, and a shared love of play.

I wanted to share my dogs in action during disc dog performances, showing you some of my favorite shots! If you can feel the energy released in these images, then I’m truly happy—because that means I’ve fulfilled my purpose, my mission. These dogs are like superheroes, and every picture reveals a glimpse of their soul!

Peppi in action
Peppi is a beautiful Puli from Germany! This shoot was wild—during the jump, Peppi’s fluffy hair completely filled my frame!

Photo finish for Leep (11 kg) vs. Chester (20 kg)
I often wonder who’s faster and who would win between them, but I’m starting to realize they just want to enjoy running together all the time! And if one is faster, they wait for the other. They’re friends. They’re dogs.

Curly and furry dogs are so fashionable—and their fur is incredibly soft too! Isn’t that an amazingly fun combo? The result: a Cockapoo! Have you heard of them?

Where is he watching?
Side or straight? Can you guess without zooming? I was so confused about the direction of his gaze! And you? Which direction is he watching?
“Where dogs move, life flows”... isn’t it? Loving dog photography in action!

Foggy day
Every day is sunny and crazy warm this winter, but that day was cold and foggy with magical light! Chester and our dogs had fun as always!

Do you like dogs in action in disc dog? If they jump correctly, landing on all four legs, I’m totally in love with them! If they just “jump” high in the air, I’m not a big fan of that... and you? What’s your opinion of these amazing dogs?
