The Original Herding Ball for Dogs
Built in San Francisco, 2021. Now shipping across Europe from Zagreb. Four sizes — Corgi to Malinois.
The original. The most copied.
CollieBall launched the first fabric-covered inflatable herding ball in June 2021. The first copies appeared on Amazon five months later. Every herding ball you see today traces back to this design.
Not sure which size?
Pick a breed, or set the sliders. If your dog sits between two sizes, take the bigger one.

Measure at the shoulder, not the head.
Built for power chewers
1680D ballistic outer shell
Ballistic fabric, double-stitched seams, heavy-duty nylon thread.
Nothing to grab
Double zipper with a detachable puller. Once closed, nothing loose is left for a dog to work at.
Replace the part, not the ball
The inflatable inner ball is sold separately. When it fails, you replace it alone.
A tired dog is a good dog
A satisfied dog is a well-behaved dog. CollieBall gives that energy and instinct somewhere to go — and the barking, the chewing and the digging tend to settle down.
This isn't a toy you replace every weekend. It's a tool, built for the way these dogs work.
Questions about herding balls
What is a herding ball?
A large inflatable ball that a dog pushes with nose, chest and shoulder — too big to pick up. It mirrors the movement herding breeds were bred for. Not a toy. A job.
What size does my dog need?
Measure at the shoulder, not the head. 45 cm for dogs up to 37 cm · 55 cm for 38–50 cm · 75 cm for 51–62 cm · 95 cm for 63 cm and up. Between two sizes? Take the bigger one.
Which breeds is it for?
Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, German Shepherds, Malinois, Corgis, Kelpies. Also French Bulldogs, Staffies and any mixed breed with drive. If your dog needs a job, this is one.
How is CollieBall different from the copies?
Ballistic fabric, double-zipper closure, replaceable inner ball. CollieBall created this category in June 2021. The copies came five months later.
Can a Malinois destroy it?
The ballistic cover and the double zipper were designed around that question. Nothing loose to grab, nothing soft to bite through. If the inner ball goes, you replace the inner ball.
Can I use it for treibball?
Yes. All four sizes work for treibball practice. The ballistic cover gives the right push-grip without letting the dog pick it up.
