Treibball
Do you have a dog that needs a job, but not
sure what to do with them? Perhaps your Sheltie "herds" the cats. Or
your Beagle is telling you that they NEED to do something!!! Well,
Treibball (pronounced Try-ball) may be the team sport for you.
Combining traditional manners with herding skills, this sport involves directing
your canine companion to "herd" fitness balls into a soccer goal. But,
it's not that simple. This is done with you approximately 25' from your
partner and they are to "herd" a SPECIFIC ball, not just any ball.
ALL dogs can participate in Treibball. Whether you have a Border Collie,
Beagle or Pug, they can enjoy this sport. Still not able to see it?
