Herding Ball for Dogs: Why CollieBall Is More Than Just a Toy
If you’ve got a Border Collie or CollieBall, Aussie, Heeler, or any herding breed, you already know—they’re not your average dog. These pups are wired to work. For centuries, they’ve been bred to herd sheep, problem-solve on the fly, and burn off serious mental and physical energy.
Now fast forward to life in the city or suburbs, with no flock in sight. What happens? A bored, anxious, or destructive dog who starts barking at shadows, chewing up furniture, or digging holes just for something to do.
That’s why we created CollieBall, the original herding ball for dogs, born from a real need in a real crisis.
A Toy with Purpose
In 2020, while our family was displaced by the Santa Cruz fires, our dog Huckleberry—a working-breed pup—was struggling. Her routines were gone, her energy was building, and she had no outlet. So, we made something out of what we had: a large, ungrabbable ball that she could chase, push, and control like livestock.
The transformation was instant.
She calmed down, focused in, and found something that felt like her job again. That toy became CollieBall.
Why It Works
CollieBall isn’t meant to be fetched. It’s meant to be herded. Dogs can’t pick it up, so they use their body, speed, and brains to guide it. It’s natural movement, driven by instinct. And best of all—it works in any open space.
Benefits include:
- 🧠 Mental stimulation that mimics real herding
- 🐾 Physical engagement without overexertion
- 🛋️ Reduction in boredom-related behaviors like barking, chewing, and anxiety
- ✈️ Portable—deflates and packs easily for travel

“Our Aussie used to bark nonstop out of boredom. Now with CollieBall, she’s focused, tired, and much calmer. Best toy we’ve found!”

Herding Isn’t a Problem—It’s a Calling
CollieBall gives your dog a chance to be who they are—whether you live on a farm or in an apartment. It turns instinct into play, boredom into purpose, and chaos into calm.
Because when dogs do what they were born to do, they’re not just happier—they thrive.
Try CollieBall—the herding ball with heart.
