Class Description: Triebball (pronounced “try-ball”), also known as urban herding, was originally invented in Germany to entertain herding breeds that don’t have regular access to herding stock like sheep, goats, or ducks. Treibball is a problem-solving game that is a cross between billiards and soccer, requiring both distance skill and teamwork. This exciting new dog sport is a fun, safe, and challenging sport for all types of dogs, and is perfect for high-energy dogs or dogs that want a job, regardless of breed, age, or size. This class explores the basics of “ball driving” and you will build up the foundational skills: targeting, finding and building balance, impulse control, increasing distance, and ball driving. Whether pursuing treibball competitively or recreationally, this is a thinking game that increases the bond between you and your dog. Suburban and city dogs will love the physical and mental stimulation of tending to their inflatable ball flock!
