Our girl figured out the herding ball the same evening it arrived. She has used it every day since.

Our Aussie used to pace all evening. Twenty minutes with this in the yard and she comes in and sleeps.
A long walk tires most dogs out. Not a herding dog
The Herding Ball for Dogs gives that drive a job. It is a large inflatable ball in a tight canvas cover. Your dog pushes it with the nose, chases it, blocks it and steers it around the yard, the same instinct it would use on sheep.
Because the ball is big and the cover is fully inflated and taut, there are no seams or loose fabric to grab and nothing small enough to bite into. Dogs play on their own or together, and they come back inside actually tired.
How it works with the Herding Ball for Dogs
Four steps. Nothing complicated.
Step 1.
Take the ball and the cover out of the box.
Step 2.
Inflate the ball inside the cover until it is firm and taut.
Step 3.
Roll it out in the yard or the park and let your dog find it.
Result.
A dog that pushes, chases and herds until it is ready to lie down.

What actually makes a good herding ball
Three things decide if a herding ball lasts or ends up in the trash like every other toy.
It has to be too big to bite. A ball your dog cannot get its mouth around is a ball it cannot destroy.
The cover has to be tight. A fully inflated, fitted cover leaves no seams or loose fabric to grab.
It has to tap into instinct. Pushing and steering a big ball is the work herding breeds were bred for, and that is what tires them out.
The toy that is still in one piece
Most dog toys last a week. This one stays in the yard, and the dog runs to it every time the back door opens. Owners of two or three dogs tell us it is the one thing they all play with together.
