Does your Australian Shepherd or Border Collie have endless energy that needs an appropriate outlet? These intelligent herding breeds thrive when they can engage their natural instincts, but finding toys that stand up to their intensity can be a challenge. That's where the Race&Herd XXL Herding Ball comes in – specifically designed to satisfy your dog's deep-seated need to herd and control movement.
At 25 inches in diameter, this isn't just another ball – it's the perfect size for herding breeds to push, chase, and control without being able to easily carry in their mouths. The bright blue color makes it highly visible during outdoor play, whether you're in the backyard, at the dog park, or in an open field. Your dog will immediately recognize it as something meant to be herded, triggering those satisfying instincts that keep them engaged and mentally stimulated.
Crafted from heavy-duty rubber material, this herding ball is virtually indestructible. It maintains its shape even after continuous use and aggressive pushing from medium to large breeds. The smooth surface prevents tooth damage while still being easy for your dog to grip with their paws and nose. Unlike regular toys that get destroyed in minutes, this ball is designed to be a long-term companion for your active pup.
This isn't just about burning off energy – though it certainly does that! The herding action engages your dog's mind as well as their body, improving coordination, focus, and problem-solving skills. It's perfect for training sessions or simply giving your dog a healthy outlet for their herding instincts. Plus, it floats, so it's excellent for water play during those hot summer months.
When playtime is over, cleanup is simple – just rinse with water to remove dirt and mud. The ball's durable construction means it can handle all weather conditions and seasons of active use. Whether your dog prefers backyard sessions or trips to the dog park, this herding ball will be ready for whatever adventure comes next.
