    Has anyone tried this? I’d never heard of it until I came across it accidentally today (on-line). It involves the dog pushing very large balls with its nose into a football-type goal. Apparently it’s really aimed at Collies to fulfil their herding instinct but I thought it looked quite fun and I might buy just one ball to have a go. (Though I’d have to do it at the rec so likely to have other dogs joining in!)

    Xena nose-butts the soccer ball back to me, does that count? :D

    Never heard of treibball, I'm interested to hear how it goes.

    Yes, I found it by accident when looking for flyball classes! I found one training centre that offered it near-ish me last year, but when I contacted them they had taken it off the roster due to lack of interest :( It sounds fun though!
