Urban Pooch Treibball Classes



Your instructor is a NATE instructor and skills evaluator – to learn more about NATE and the sport of treibball, please visit www.nationaltreibball.com

Triebball, 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!

Age Requirements & Pre-Reqs: Dogs must be at least 6 months old in order to participate in this class. Good attention to the handler (owner) and basic obedience are recommended before taking this class.
