When there is no flock, that drive often ends up aimed at the kids, the cat or the fence line. This oversized ball gives your dog a job: something too big to grab, made to be pushed, chased and steered with nose and chest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn inflatable PVC inner ball goes inside a removable fabric cover that zips shut. Pump the inner ball until it fills the cover snugly, with no loose fabric. A firm, tight fit gives your dog nothing to bite into. Close the zip and roll it out in the yard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich size for my dog?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18 in (45 cm):\u003c\/strong\u003e medium dogs and smaller herding breeds such as Shelties, Corgis, Border Collies and Mini Aussies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e22 in (55 cm):\u003c\/strong\u003e larger and high-energy dogs such as Australian Shepherds, German Shepherds, Cattle Dogs and Malinois.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRule of thumb: pick a ball your dog cannot get its mouth around, but can still push with its chest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFabric cover with zip, inflatable inner ball, pump and plug tools, as shown in the photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and safe play\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe cover is removable.
