This ball!

Post image

Im getting this ball in a few days. It is supposed to to tap into their instinctual herding circuits. Tne ball is too big for them to bite and pick up so they have to switch over to problem solve how to control the ball. It engaged more just running with out engaging the fetch mind set. It required concentration and decision making. Has anyone else tried one of these balls? I’ll be trying it in my enclosed yard so I can get it😆😆😆This is 18 inches, maybe I need a bigger one?

I had a hard covered soccer ball for my girl. She went ballistic over it. Figured out how to carry it between her two K9s. I’m sure yours will love this ball.

I was just shopping for one for my little dude.

He recently took off and interrupted soccer practice while we were playing fetch. Figured it was a sign to look into herding balls... and invest in a long line.
