The OG Herding Ball is a 17.7 inch (45cm) herding ball for dogs built for high-energy pups who need more than another small toy. It is an oversized chase-and-push toy your dog can nudge, shove, track, and herd around the yard during supervised play — with one feature most herding balls don't have.

The pull strap: the difference maker

Here's what sets The OG Herding Ball apart from a plain herding ball, and it's the reason some dogs love this one when they ignored others: the built-in pull strap. Not every dog wants to push a ball with their nose. Some — like OG, our chocolate Lab — want to grab something and drag it around like they own it. The strap gives them exactly that. Push it, chase it, or grab the strap and haul it across the yard. One toy, two ways to play. It's what keeps grab-and-drag dogs hooked when a stringless ball leaves them bored after five minutes.

A dog herding ball for zoomies, chase drive, and backyard energy

Some dogs need a job. Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, Corgis, Heelers, German Shepherds, Labs, and other active dogs often want movement, direction, and something big enough to work around. The OG Herding Ball gives that energy a simple outlet: chase it, push it, steer it, drag it, repeat.

Soft on teeth. Tough on zoomies.

Many traditional herding balls are rigid hard plastic. The OG Herding Ball uses a tough outer cover over an inflatable core, so it rolls fast and gives your dog a satisfying target without the same hard-shell impact. It is made for movement-based play, not chewing.

Best for dogs who love to chase and push

• 17.7 inch / 45cm oversized ball for chase-and-push play
• Built-in pull strap — for dogs who'd rather grab and drag than push
• Great outdoor dog exercise toy for yards, parks, and open play areas
• Helpful for dogs with zoomies, herding instincts, or bored backyard energy
• Good fit for many active breeds, including Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, Corgis, Heelers, German Shepherds, and Labs
• Inflates in minutes with the included pump and deflates for easier storage

How to use it

Start in an open area with a short supervised session. Roll the ball gently, let your dog investigate, and praise nose taps, pushing, following, chasing, and grabbing the strap. Keep early sessions short, then put the ball away when playtime is done so it stays a special active-play toy.

Important: chase toy, not chew toy

The OG Herding Ball is a dog herding ball and chase toy, not an unsupervised chew toy. Supervise play, especially with determined chewers. If your dog starts chewing instead of chasing, pushing, or dragging, pause the session and redirect.
