Sound familiar?

  • Your herding dog wants to work, even after the walk
  • Fetch bores him within five minutes
  • You want something that works his head and his body

Treibball is football for dogs, with a twist: your dog pushes the ball with his nose and chest to wherever you want it. For a herding dog it is herding work without sheep. For any other dog it is a proper workout.

The best part is that your dog has to think. Where does the boss want the ball? Pushing, steering and listening at the same time asks more of him in ten minutes than an hour of running loose.

The ball is 45 cm across. A sturdy Oxford fabric cover with a zip goes over a PVC inner ball. It arrives deflated, so you inflate it yourself at home.

Tested by our own dog

No studio shots. This is our own dog in our garden in Wassenaar, with exactly what you are buying here.

  • Herdersbal in beide kleuren op het gras, met een labrador op de achtergrond
  • Labrador duwt de blauw-oranje herdersbal met zijn borst over het gras
  • Hond drijft de herdersbal van 45 cm door de tuin

  • Labrador rust uit tegen de herdersbal na het spelen

Why we sell this

  • Our herding dogs at the daycare want to steer something. The herding ball gives them exactly that: not sheep, not cyclists and not children, but a ball.

Playing and safety

Always supervise play, on grass or a soft surface, and keep sessions short: ten minutes is enough. Check the cover and inner ball before every use and stop playing with a leaking or damaged ball. Not suitable for puppies that are still growing.

Questions

How do I inflate the ball?
Open the zip and take out the inner ball. Inflate it through the valve and push the plug in firmly. Put the ball back in the cover and close the zip. Inflate it firmly, but not rock hard.
Can my dog bite it?
It is not a chew toy. Treibball is played with nose and chest. If your dog does sink his teeth in, pause for a moment and start again with pushing.
Is this only for herding breeds?
No. Any dog that likes to push can learn it. Herding dogs often pick it up fastest, because driving is in their nature.
How do I start?
Put the ball between you and your dog and reward every touch with his nose. After a few short sessions he pushes it towards you. Then you set the direction.
