Rubber Ball

Rubber Ball

The Rubber Ball is a straightforward but highly effective training and play tool designed to help build chase, pick-up and retrieval instincts in dogs. Made from durable natural rubber, the ball travels well through the air and skims confidently along the ground, leaving a scent trail for your dog to mark and follow — making it especially useful when teaching hunting breeds to keep their noses down and drive for the retrieve.

Available in Small and Large sizes, with optional throwing rope variants, this ball suits a wide range of training styles — from basic pick-up practice to more dynamic ground work — and performs reliably in everyday fieldwork or casual play.

Why Use a Rubber Ball

Rubber balls are ideal for introducing dogs to grip, chase and ground-level retrieve work, helping them build confidence in picking up and carrying objects that don’t behave like tennis balls or canvas dummies. Because the ball travels both through the air and along the ground at speed, it encourages your dog to hunt down and secure the object, reinforcing fundamental retrieval skills in a fun and engaging way.
