Sheepo – 55 cm Herding Ball for Dogs

Built for Kelpies, Border Collies, Cattle Dogs and other working breeds with energy to burn.

Give the herding instinct somewhere to go

Your dog wants to work. Push, chase, nudge, control: it’s wired in, and if it doesn’t get an outlet, it comes out somewhere else, like digging, barking or wrecking the yard.

Sheepo gives that drive a job. No sheep required, just a big, tough ball your dog can herd around the backyard, burning off energy and using their brain at the same time.

Built for dogs that don’t hold back

• 60 cm inner ball in premium PVC rubber, made to take a beating
• 55 cm outer cover in heavy-duty 2520 denier Oxford nylon
• Double zip for extra strength
• Turquoise colour, easy to spot in the yard or paddock
• Hand pump included, so everything you need is in the box

The cover fits tight with no wrinkles in the fabric, so there’s nothing for your dog to grab onto and chew through. Tighter construction means a longer life.

Spare parts, always in stock

Most herding balls are one-and-done: get a puncture or a busted valve, and the whole thing goes in the bin. Not Sheepo.

We keep inner balls, outer covers and valves in stock, so if something wears out or your dog gets a bit too enthusiastic, you only replace the part you need and keep the game going.

What’s in the box

• Inner ball
• Outer cover
• Inflation valves
• Hand pump
• Step-by-step instructions

Tip: the last bit of inflation takes some muscle. That’s the tough PVC doing its job. An electric pump works too if you’d rather skip the arm workout.

Which size does your dog need?

Sheepo is our middle size at 55 cm, and it’s the right pick for most herding breeds: Kelpies, Border Collies, Cattle Dogs and Shepherds. Too small and it becomes a chew toy. Too big and your dog can’t get it moving.

If your dog is smaller or especially powerful, we also make:

• Poddy (45 cm): suits smaller breeds
• Jumbuck (65 cm): for big, strong dogs who’d flatten a smaller ball

Not sure which one’s right? Call us on 0421 519 084. We’re a small Aussie team and happy to help you get the size right before you order.

Getting started

1. Find an open, safe space.
2. Let your dog sniff it out first, with no pressure.
3. Give it a gentle nudge yourself, then encourage your dog to do the same.
4. Keep the first few sessions short. Most dogs pick it up quickly.
5. Always supervise play, especially early on.

Looking after your Sheepo

Sheepo isn’t a cheap backyard ball. It’s a training tool that keeps your dog’s mind and body busy, and looked after properly, it’ll earn its keep for a long time.

• Check the seams and cover regularly for wear.
• Wipe it down or hose it off after outdoor play.
• Keep it out of direct sun. Heat makes the air inside expand, which strains the seams and shortens the ball’s life.
• If it’s sitting unused for a while, or the weather’s warming up, let a bit of air out so the cover isn’t left stretched tight.
