A calm, practical learning workshop without your dog
Check out this video on UTube if you don’t know what Treibball is.
You will receive some video training for preparation before the session
Are you ready to join us on an exciting adventure with your furry friend? Treibball is the latest canine sport that everyone is talking about. Treibball offers a perfect mix of mental and physical stimulation for your dog.
The introductory session will cover the foundation Treibball commands, (see the list below) and teach you and your dog how to get good control over pushing the ball.
Worried your dog will want to ‘bite’ the ball? Well don’t be – we start with unburstable balls as your dog learns the excitement and fun that can be had by ‘pushing’ the ball with their nose.
If you haven’t heard of Treibball yet, you’re in for a treat! Check out this video on UTube to see this fun activity in action.
Treibball, also known as “urban herding,” is a fun sport where dogs push large inflatable balls into a goal using their nose and body. Originating in Germany, Treibball was designed to channel the natural herding instincts of dogs, particularly herding breeds like Border Collies and Shepherds.
However, it’s a fantastic activity for any dog, regardless of breed or size. It teaches calm, controlled behaviour, improves/advances good behaviour commands, and builds a strong bond between you and your dog.
– **Exercise and Mental Stimulation:** Treibball is a great way to keep your dog physically active and mentally challenged. Your dog has to do a lot of ‘thinking’ while working in partnership with you.
– **Strengthens Bond:** Working together as a team in Treibball strengthens your relationship with your dog, building trust and communication.
