Race and herd Herding Ball for dogs

Backed by canine experts, elite training approved

Why does the herding inner ball look small, and the herding ball cover feel loose? Did I get the wrong cover size?

The inner ball may look small or the cover loose, but it’s not the wrong size. Inflate until smooth and crease-free. The ball expands tightly into the cover. Use an electric pump or compressor. Do not overinflate or the zipper may pop.

It is difficult to inflate the herding ball for dogs, how can I make sure it is firm, smooth, crease-free, and safe?

Use an electric pump, air compressor, or gas station pump for best results. PSI at 2-3. Inflate your dog herding ball until the cover is smooth, tight, and crease-free. Always supervise play. We recommend 15 minutes per session with water breaks.

The Herding Ball cover feels too tight to zip, how can I assemble it correctly without causing damage to the herd ball?

If the ball feels too tight to zip it means the herding ball is overly inflated and will cause the seams to tear or zipper to fall off. Slightly deflate, zip halfway, then finish inflating. Tuck the zipper pull into the safety slot before play.

Is the Herding Ball chew-proof, and what exactly is a herding dog ball or horse ball used for during play and training?

No, this isn’t a chew toy. It’s an enrichment ball for chasing, pushing, and herding. Dogs or horses use their nose, chest, or shoulders to move it, like herding without sheep. Too big to pick up, it channels natural instincts most toys can’t reach.

Which herding ball size is best for my dog, and how do I choose the right one for their breed and weight?

Choose based on breed and weight. 18" for small dogs (Corgis, Frenchies), 22" for medium herders (Border Collies, Shelties), 25" for mid-size breeds (Aussies, Huskies), 30" for large dogs and horses (GSDs, Labs, Great Danes). If unsure, size up!
