SHOW TOPIC
Diving into the Doggie Sport world once more, Jasen and Sylvia sit down with Claudia Sihler, German veterinarian and owner of A Better Companion, now living and dog training in Alaska. Claudia introduces us to Treibball, also called the ‘urban herding sport’ where dogs herd exercise balls instead of sheep. Treibball is an R+ team sport that builds communication skills between the dog and handler, and improves attention and off-leash reliability. Dogs of any size can compete and handlers of any capability can participate, which makes it a fun, skill-building activity.
