Le treibball
Invented to entertain retired herding dogs, this game consists of sending the animal to push balls, one by one, towards a goal cage. We use fitness balls adapted to its size, which are scattered on a grassy area. The master, placed in front of the goals, encourages his dog with enthusiasm… and treats.
For whom? All playful dogs. Investment From 3 to 10 balloons (from €15 to €40 depending on size) of different colors. Our opinion The challenge is to direct the dog by voice and gesture towards a specific ball so that it scores a goal. An activity that is both physical and mental, which strengthens dog-master communication.
