18 Inch Polyester Covered Inflatable Herding Ball

Diameter: 45 cm (17.7 inches). Outer shell crafted from 600D heavy-duty polyester — tightly woven, UV-stabilised, and abrasion-tested to retain integrity after repeated contact with pavement, grass, and teeth. Inner structure is a thick-gauge, non-toxic PVC bladder rated for repeated inflation/deflation without material fatigue. Total assembled weight: approx. 320 g — calibrated to remain movable by dogs yet resist wind or casual kicks. Two wide, loop-style handles extend from the cover — flat-seamed and internally reinforced to prevent fraying or detachment during intense gripping. Designed for instinctive engagement: the large silhouette triggers visual tracking, while ground-hugging inertia invites deliberate nudging and sustained propulsion. Optimised hue palette enhances object discrimination for dogs — critical for breeds relying on visual cues during herding or agility training. Supports daily mental maintenance: regular use improves impulse control and reduces attention-seeking behaviours. Easily cleaned with mild soap and water; air-dries quickly due to polyester’s low moisture retention. Compatible with standard UK/EU bicycle pump needles.
