Dragoon 45 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Apparently there is one opening up here in Tulsa. Did a google search on them and didn't find much more than their advertising. They are advertising they have agility and some other types of dog sports. I understand they are some kind of a franchise but can find out little beyond that. Anyone have any experience with them? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liz P Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Please don't call Treiball "urban herding." It's not. It's moving balls around. Fun for pet dogs, sure, but using that term cheapens what real working dogs do on a daily basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smalahundur Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 "Urban herding" That was a new one for me. Yeah, I think treibbal is no doubt a fun game to play with your dog ( never tried it, never will), but the adoption of stockwork jargon (and even carrying crooks) makes them completely silly !

Laurelin Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 I've never heard of them but I know some good agility folk in Tulsa if you were looking for agility training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloria Atwater Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 I'm sorry, but that is not "urban herding." It bears no real relation to working livestock, because the ball doesn't DO a goldarned thing. The dog isn't thinking to compensate for its movements or behaviors and he is not learning to read or understand what the ball does. It's play. That's all.Now that you're here, Mr. Gursky, I hope you will wish to engage in further discussion of these remarkable working dogs than simply advertising your business.Respectfully,Gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
