    New NATE Game!

    2019 Handbook!

    NATE ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF OUR 2019 RULE REVISION and NEW BALLS N ORDER GAME

    Major rule changes focus the game on bringing in the point ball first and allows for individual dog working styles. No longer will your dog need to hold a static start position or wait 3 seconds behind the point ball.

    Our new Balls N Order Game will involve bringing the balls into the goal in a designated order. This requires excellent directional skills and impulse control. It is challenging and very fun to play!

    Click here for the complete revised NATE Official Rules Handbook including the Balls N Order game.2019 Handbook

    For a quick overview of the changes, review this handy Summary of Changes.Summary of Changes 

    The last page of the Handbook is the handiest page ever! Have you been down at your training field or working with a group of Treibball students and tried to keep it all straight as you set up for a practice or Video Titling run? How far is the point ball? What is the Maximum Course Time? Was that a fault? 'ACK!' you say as you flip through the Rules Handbook. Now you can print out this handy dandy Super Quick Reference Guide to laminate or tape it to the back of your training clipboard:

    Congratulations to Angie and her dog Cali from Australia. on earning their Novice Title! Cali is our first Finnish Lapphund and they are our first team to title from the Southern Hemisphere. Cali has great ball control for a Novice dog. They are having a world of fun together! It is also a great example of a pop-up field and you will love the call 123 go in “Australian.” https://youtu.be/K4mTyvxqNYs

    Congratulations 2018 Title winners! There were 17 Titling Teams and a total of 26 Titles Earned! New states that joined this year were NC and VA! 
    We are looking forward to continuing to grow the sport of Treibball and our NATE family in 2019.

    We have an amazing accomplishment to celebrate….Sandy White and her dog Splash have been awarded their Novice title. Now Splash is really something special. She is completely deaf but she is so smart and accommodated herself so well, that it took until she was 6 months old for Sandy and her trainers to realize that she couldn’t hear. So watch this video and be amazed!  Congratulations to them on their outstanding achievement!

    Hooray for Kathryne and Marcie, her 12 year old mixed breed. Marcie is the first dog to achieve a Veteran Novice Title with NATE! Having retired from agility some time ago, both of them are excited to have found Treibball and the opportunity to train together again as a team.

    Are you struggling to find a field where you can film your video title runs? NATE is introducing pop-up fields. Pop-up fields can be set up in a larger training field, an open space or at a school or park. The field will not be required to have solid fences on four sides. Your dog must just stay within the boundary lines for the run to qualify. Find more info here

    Our Video Titling Program is popular and growing! This month we awarded our 50th title! Congratulations to all the teams on their achievements. Great work!
