Treibball
Would you like to channel your dog’s extra physical and mental energy into a game that promotes teamwork, enhances impulse control & off-leash obedience skills while providing a sense of purpose? This sport is all about the strong bond that will develop between you and your dog in order to play the game successfully .
Treibball traces its roots to Germany where it was initially developed to keep herding dogs engaged where traditional herding wasn’t possible. The dogs are charged with the task of pushing balls into a goal or moving them between pens at the handler’s direction.
Today, Treibball is a group of four different timed games played with balls proportional to the size of the dog. ANY dog of any age can learn to play! Personality rather than breed is the key component along with the the willingness to form a partnership with your dog that is not leash dependent.
Best of all, Treibball is fun and you can obtain titles by video right here at Two Paws-Up!
What will we learn in class?
You will start by learning the needed foundation skills. Once you and your dog have some solid foundation skills in place, then you can join our Treibball classes where you will begin learning the specifics of Treibball.
What do I need to do before class?
Your dog should have a solid foundation of targeting behaviors, stay and recall before starting our Treibball classes. We require that you and your dog be training at Level 2 or above. Not sure if you are ready? You can also schedule a class evaluation to be sure. They also may need to be able to go into a crate with you right there beside them. This allows you to fully engage in class by watching and learning from other dogs runs. We do need your dogs current vaccination records prior to class.
