Tackling “Jolly Balls” Aussie Style – Video
One of our recent discussions, started by @zaneb , turned into sharing about how to channel that high-herding drive in some dogs. Some folks actually do herding with their dogs, others, lacking sheep and geese, go for Treibball.
I just let the girls take turns tackling Jolly Balls. ???? So much BITING is allowed! Very fun.
Here’s a scene from this morning…. Feel free to share this with anyone who thinks Aussies are “cute.” And ask them how they plan on channeling this high drive impulse… ????

Love this! Great point, “cute” isn’t quite the right word for a herding breed… maybe up until, what… 12 weeks of age? ????
I can tell you right now I once had a Malinois pup from working lines in my care, during an off-site “sleepaway” training workshop, for a few weeks, and cute was never the right word. Dynamic, beautiful, intense, responsive, malligator – those all fit, but cute, nah!-
I’d revise that… “cute” stops when very intentional bitey behavior starts… say, well,… the second they come home, for sure. haha
That said, I’d take a 12-week old Aussie any day, over some12 week old terriers… talk about serious little working dogs! ALL BITE. And not even a herder, so they don’t actually CARE WHAT YOU THINK.

Definitely having a ball! I wish I could have gotten video of Joy (my older one) quick-succession biting the ball, which she does when she’s super aroused. bitebitebitebitebite so fast you can hardly count it. Crazy girl! (and I adore her! ????)
