Learn about the new sport for dogs, Treibball. Jan Nijboer, whose herding dogs seemed to often thirst for more "work" to do, introduces you to a game that is a fun mixture of soccer and herding trial in which dogs are trained to at a distance to drive a set of balls into a goal. More than just a game however, Treibball involves teaching your dog a variety of complex behaviors and builds teamwork between you and your dog. This one hour DVD will give you a great introduction on how the sport of Treibball works and one method of training to learn the skills necessary to compete. For more information on where competitions are being held in the US, check out the American Treibball Association online.
