Treibball
Treibball is a sport that uses communication between dog and handler teams to move exercise balls through a pre-determined course. Your dog will learn how to maneuver an exercise ball on the flat and through or around obstacles as you learn to direct movements in straight lines and turns. Learn different games with specific challenges in ball movement and perfect your communication skills with your dog.
Treibball Basics
Learn basic cues and positions needed to communicate with your dog. Dogs work around the balls but learn to wait for communication to work the ball. Teach your dog to line up on the ball to get the best movement toward the goal, move to another ball, and go away from you to a balanced position ready to work.
