Mimics Herding
Treibball mimics herding in that dogs must drive their targets into the goal within a given length of time. The difference is that the targets are exercise balls, not sheep, cattle, and other livestock. So, if you do not have a large yard or a lot of room to train, no worries. You can still play this fun sport.
Main Game
In the main game, dogs have to push eight balls into the goal area, one by one. They must closely follow commands given by their handlers who have to stay within the goal area. There are many fun little games played to build up to this.
For all sizes of dogs
Although Treibball was developed for herding dogs, all breeds and sizes can train, play, and compete. Even Chihuahuas and other tiny dogs can get the lightweight herding balls moving in the right direction with a bop from their nose.
