​WHAT IS TREIBBALL?
TREIBBALL is a German word meaning push or drive ball. It is a sport that started 12 years ago in Germany, and was designed for high energy or easily aroused dogs to showcase their incredible talents with intricate skills, self-control under pressure, solving concepts and reasoning while in motion, and the ultimate Team work. From its first day this sport has been about training at the highest level with positive reinforcement training skills, to gather and drive balls from one end of the field and then into a goal with the handler.

WHY TREIBBALL?
Treibball is like a moving puzzle between you and your dog, and creates great mental and physical exercise on both ends of the leash. The skills for this sport include – distance, directional (steering at a distance), changing pace and speed, and being able to communicate with each other while far apart, and it builds incredible Team work.
Treibball is working as a Team both close together and far apart, which can be applied to most every other thing you do with your dog during your day.
Treibball is for all ages, puppy to senior, as the dog chooses their pace/speed.
Treibball equipment is super lightweight and affordable.
Treibball can be played in the yard, a park, or a larger field.
Treibball can be a daily puzzle solving game for you and your dog, or a competition sport.
Treibball never gets old, working with distance, directional, steering, pushing, and Teamwork, there are absolutely endless ways to play!

Please notice, that there are limited working spots. When you sign up, you will receive an invoice via text message. Not until your payment is received, is your working spot guaranteed.
Once registered there are no refunds, please make sure the date and time work for you. NOTE - No refund unless Nancy Tanner or Blue Creek Canine cancels the event due to weather, acts of God, or elephants!
All dogs are welcome, no matter age or size or breed. However, this is NOT a good sport for low energy or coach-potato dogs!
 (If your dog is very reactive in a group class setting, consider auditing instead of a working spot. This will ensure you can fully focus on the instruction being given and take wonderful notes without having to worry about your dog or how he/she affects the other teams.)
