Treibball
is anyone doing Treibball with their dogs.........we have just started training in this fun game.........they are starting to have classes in it......
originated in Germany its like a herding exercise.........all you need is 6-8 big exercise balls and a goal penn........the dog is taught to nose/herd each ball into the penn.....they love it! a great exercise to do at home in the yard, and relitively cheap to get into.........they have some great you tube videos on it..........

Never head of this before- very cool! I thought it would be kinda neat to get into herding, but there is nowhere in the city for me to do this. What a cool alternative!

it really is a great activity for the dogs to do at home in their own yard.....some catch on rather quickly, others it takes a bit more time/training.........we are practicing inside right now, i am having them learn the touch game, and putting a target on the door and they push the door.......can't wait to get it all together and let loose in some big space...........

Karlo pops those exercise balls.
I thought the treibballs were made of a stronger plastic. He has a bestball and that is pretty much indestructable, but not as big as the exercise balls. Bestball-Elite K-9 |

i don't think they would pop the ball if they were trained to nose/herd it, if allowed to play with the ball in a normal fashion i can see why they might...........i think as long as it was introduced from the beginning in what you wanted them to do with it it wouldn't be a problem.....
