I let my dogs play with tennis balls. We don't really have space to play
Frisbee, but I bet they would love it if we did. I haven't found it to be a
problem. We live about a block from a park that has tennis courts. When we
walk by there Monty will look, but he has never tried to pull that way, stop
or anything inappropriate.
I feel like there are rules and there are conditions in which the rules are
applicable. I let my dogs do all sorts of things at home or on leash that
they aren't allowed in harness. They learn the difference.
