Class Description

​Treibball (pronounced TRY-ball) is an exciting dog sport that promotes teamwork between you and your dog through positive reinforcement. In this sport, dogs learn to move beyond a set of yoga balls and “herd” or push them into a goal, one at a time, under the direction of their human handler. The best part? Your dog doesn’t have to be a herding breed to participate!

  • Inclusive: This low-impact sport welcomes all breeds and sizes, including senior dogs.
  • Build Confidence: Help your dog gain confidence with new challenges.
  • Team Building: Strengthen the bond between you and your dog through fun and engaging activities.
  • Learn New Skills: Teach your dog a variety of new skills in a supportive and structured environment.
  • Community Fun: Join a community of like-minded dog lovers and share the joy of training.
 
This game was created in Germany in 2005 to keep herding dogs active in urban environments where they couldn't herd livestock. It soon spread across Europe and eventually reached the USA.

Instructor:  Christine Glosson
Cost:  $245.00 for 6 weeks - 1 hour lesson
