Foundation Skills for Treibball: 8-Week Class
Product Description
Prerequisite: Graduation from Puppy Manners or Dog Manners at Praiseworthy Pups or a similar program.
Does your dog want a flock of sheep for Christmas? Does your dog herd you into the kitchen when it's time to eat? If so, try Treibball! (pronounced try-ball) Treibball is a fun and stimulating game to play with your dog. Although the breeds with natural herding ability probably have a bit of an edge, any dog who can learn to target, move off-leash, stand, stop, and lie down can learn it.
Treibball encourages teamwork, problem solving and communication between the dog and handler. It’s very rewarding for energetic dogs who work well off-leash and need a job, or any dog that likes to herd but doesn’t live on a ranch!
Treibball began in Germany, and the first formal competitions were in 2008. In the last couple of years, it has caught on in the U.S. and is quickly becoming a fun and competitive sport for all dogs that love to play games, herd, or just use their problem-solving ability. Treibball builds the same type of teamwork and communication skills that agility training does, but does not put physical stress on the handler. It can also help shy or reactive dogs build confidence and have better impulse control.
