Can My Dog Break It?

When fully inflated, it is very difficult for a dog to damage it. A properly inflated ball pulls the cover smooth and taut, leaving far fewer loose folds for teeth to catch. Never give it to your dog underinflated: a soft or wrinkled cover is easier to grab and may be damaged.

This style of ball was originally developed for demanding horse and livestock environments. Even so, no play product is indestructible—use it for supervised push-and-chase play, redirect chewing, and inspect it before every session.

What Size Do I Need?

When in doubt, choose the larger size. The most common sizing mistake is going too small. A larger ball is harder to lift or carry in the mouth, so it naturally encourages pushing, steering and chasing.

  • Small · 9.8 in / 25 cm: for dogs under 25 lb
  • Medium · 17.7 in / 45 cm: for dogs 25–55 lb
  • Large · 21.7 in / 55 cm: for dogs 55+ lb

Weight is a guide. Your dog’s height, play style and available space matter too.

What’s Included?
  • 1 original nyvose herding ball
  • 1 fitted outer cover
  • 1 foot pump
  • 1 setup and play guide

Inflate the ball fully before the first session, then check it regularly during supervised outdoor play.

BEHIND THE BRAND · TESTED WITH TOBY

Meet Toby, the Dog Behind the Ball

Every idea behind this ball started with watching Toby, our 55 lb Border Collie, play. We wanted a larger moving target that kept supervised outdoor sessions focused on pushing, steering and chasing.

Testing the 21.7 in / 55 cm ball with Toby helped us shape the size and play experience around real movement in the yard.
