Updated: Sep 14

What is a Herding Ball?


Herding Ball for Dogs
Herding Ball

A herding ball is an interactive dog toy designed to mimic the experience of herding livestock, allowing dogs to exercise their natural herding instincts. It’s a large, sturdy ball that can be pushed around by dogs using their noses, mouths, paws, and legs. Unlike fetch toys, herding balls are meant to be directed towards a goal or handler on cue, providing a fun and engaging way for dogs to exercise and mentally stimulate themselves. This makes herding balls an excellent addition to any dog’s play routine, especially for those with a strong herding drive.



There are few things as heartwarming as seeing your four-legged friend bounding with joy, and we understand the thrill of it. We at CollieBall, an original herding ball, believe that every dog - and every dog owner - deserves the best, especially when it comes to toys. So, let us introduce our star product, designed explicitly for herding dogs - the CollieBall, the best herding ball for your furry friend!


Benefits of Interactive Dog Toys

Interactive dog toys, such as herding balls, offer a wide range of benefits for dogs. They provide essential exercise and mental stimulation, helping to reduce boredom and destructive behavior. These toys improve a dog’s focus and concentration, making them a great tool for training and agility exercises. Additionally, interactive dog toys strengthen the bond between dog and owner, offering a fun and engaging way to play and interact with each other. Suitable for dogs of all ages and breeds, interactive dog toys are a fantastic option for dog owners looking to provide their furry friends with a stimulating and enjoyable experience.


A Solution to Satisfy Herding Instincts

The sight of a Border Collie herding livestock, an Australian Shepherd rounding up cattle, or a Kelpie keeping ducks in line, and a German Shepherd leading a flock of sheep, or small dogs like Corgi, is nothing short of poetry in motion. These herding dogs are hyperactive dogs and have natural instincts to herd, which are deeply ingrained in their DNA. But what happens when these dogs - and other dogs - have intrinsic herding behaviors and live in a suburban environment, far removed from the expansive grasslands or farms? Any dog owners of Australian cattle dogs, German shepherds, Australian shepherds, Border collies, or any one of many herding breeds know the challenge.

Suitable Breeds and Sizes

Herding balls are suitable for dogs of all breeds and sizes, but they’re particularly well-suited for herding breeds such as Australian Cattle Dogs, Australian Shepherds, and Border Collies. These breeds have a strong herding instinct and will naturally be drawn to the herding ball. However, any dog that enjoys interactive play and exercise will benefit from a herding ball. When choosing a herding ball, it’s essential to consider the size of the ball and the size of your dog. A good herding ball should be large enough for your dog to push around comfortably, but not so large that it’s difficult to maneuver.
