Treibball Foundations

Pushing balls with purpose and control as an outlet for herding behaviours
or simply to have a lot of fun!

What is Treibball, exactly?

Treibball is a herding game where the dog pushes exercise balls toward you into a goal. They need to follow your directions on which ball to push. It is a fantastic outlet for herding behaviours and suitable for all dogs who enjoy a fun activity with their humans!
In this course we get your basics right first, so you can build on that solid foundation. Then the fun bit starts where the dogs learn to push the ball, follow directional cues and practice their impulse control. We don't want them to run off with the ball in the opposite direction, do we?

You can use a standard exercise ball for humans and blow it up to the appropriate size for your dog. Big dogs get big balls, small dogs get small ones. You don't need a huge field for this course, since we're working primarily on cue control and accuracy. The distance work can be adjusted to your space. We also give you the option to participate in challenges and join our monthly video call.

Throughout this entire course you're virtually accompanied by your instructor Caroline, who will give you feedback, troubleshoot, celebrate your wins and make sure you stay on the ball. It's like an in-person course within your own 4 walls!
