Before your pup gets their paws on their herding ball, Roger has a few very important rules: Pump the inner ball until the cover is tight and smooth with no loose fabric, then keep it for pushing, chasing and herding, not chewing, gnawing or biting.

Which size is best for my pup?
Both balls play the same game - they just suit different pups.
- Small (45cm) is the sweet spot for smaller and mid-sized dogs, shorter legs, and tighter backyards. It's easy to get moving and easy to steer, so pups build confidence fast.
- Large (55cm) suits bigger, taller dogs with a long stride and plenty of drive. Roger's pick, and the go-to for pups who like a bit of a challenge.
The simple rule: the ball should be too big for your pup to get their mouth around, but not so big they can't push it. That's what keeps the game a push-and-chase game rather than a grab-and-chew one — and it's the single biggest thing you can do to keep the ball lasting.
Somewhere in between, or not sure which way to go? Reach out and we'll help you pick.
Rough pup or playing on rugged ground? Try the Outback Herder.
The Herding Ball loves grass, sand and open space. If your pup plays hard and heavy, or your usual spot is gravel, rocky ground, bush tracks or hard-packed dirt, the Outback Herder is the better match — built tougher for pups who don't do gentle.
If you're picking between the two, we'd rather help you get it right the first time. Shop the Outback Herder or get in touch and we'll point you to the right ball for your pup.

Hi
|
|
|---|---|
| Who it's for: | High-energy pups with strong herding instincts. Australian Shepherds (excellent taste, by the way), Kelpies, Border Collies, Corgis, Frenchies and Cattle Dogs. If your dog is ball-obsessed, toy-driven or full of beans, this is about to become part of the daily playtime. |
| Chew rating: | Not made for chewing, this ball is for the chasers. If your pup is a determined chewer, this might not be the right product for them. |
| How to play: | I push it, chase it and nudge it about. It's an interactive game, not a chew toy, so no gnawing or biting, please. |
| Best places to play: | I'm a large ball (55cm) sort of dog myself, but smaller pups do brilliantly on the small ball (45cm). |
| Fun Factor: | I almost forgot about dinner. Twice. |
