[San Francisco, CA โ June, 2025] โ CollieBall, the original herding ball designed specifically for high-drive dogs, is transforming the way urban pet parents care for herding breeds like Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, and Belgian Malinois. Created in 2020 out of a real-life need to soothe a displaced dog during the Santa Cruz wildfires, CollieBall has since become a powerful enrichment tool for dogs with instinctual work to doโeven without access to sheep or farmland.
Herding breeds were built for jobs. These dogs are not only athletic, but also deeply intelligent and instinct-driven. Without a constructive outlet, they often develop problem behaviors such as obsessive barking, chewing, pacing, or anxiety. CollieBall is stepping in to meet those needs in a way that suits modern urban living.

Unlike fetch toys that promote short bursts of high-speed running and retrieval, CollieBall, Herding Ball for Dogs offers a more mentally engaging experience. Dogs cannot pick the herding ball up with their mouths, so they instinctively push, chase, and control its movement using their bodiesโmimicking the way they would manage a flock of sheep.
This action activates both brain and body, allowing the dog to self-direct the play and fulfill their herding instincts naturally. Itโs enrichment with purpose, and itโs ideal for small yards, dog parks, or any open spaceโeven in the middle of the city.

CollieBall features a two-layer construction: a responsive inner exercise ball for bounce and movement, and a durable ballistic-fabric outer cover that stands up to even the most determined herders. The toy is easy to clean, safe to use, and collapsible for travelโmaking it perfect for families on the go.

The first CollieBall was created when its founders were evacuated from their home during the 2020 Santa Cruz fires. Wanting to calm and engage their herding dog Huckleberry during the stressful time, they improvised a toy that would later become a beloved enrichment tool for thousands of working dogs around the country.
โCollieBall wasnโt invented in a lab,โ says co-founder Vera A. โIt was made out of love and necessityโand now itโs helping dogs everywhere reconnect with their natural instincts in a safe, rewarding way.โ

โOur Heeler mix used to chew everything from stress and boredom. Since we started using CollieBall, sheโs more relaxed and way less destructive.โ
