Description

Welcome to the Treibball course, where I will help you learn the basics of Treibball, which will be all the keys in your hands. The essence of the sport is for the dog to get eight balls into a goal. The eight balls are set up in a triangle similar to billiards, with the dog handler staying in one place near the goal. The handler only needs to communicate with the dog by whistle, verbal commands or hand signals to push the balls into the goal. The balls must be put into the goal in a specific order and there is a time limit. Treibball is loosely based on herding trials, so herding dogs have a natural advantage in mastering the sport. However, with animal training, any breed of dog can learn and play Treibball effectively. Treibballs are 45-75 centimeters in diameter and are known as "rolling sheep". The playing field is 30-50 meters long and 15-25 meters wide. The right foundation is the most important thing, as in any sport. I hope you like it soon. The goal is for everyone to have the knowledge to effectively master what they see at home. You can get expert advice and learn practical techniques. New online course – without having to pay a fortune for professional help. With the right guidance and knowledge, anyone can learn. I wish you success and good learning. Giselle
