What We Do
Hoopers
Hoopers is a fun low impact, free flowing dog sport. The courses consist of a series of hoops, barrels, and tunnels. Tight turns are not involved and nothing on the Hoopers course is high impact, as everything is at ground level making this course suitable for large breed dogs, young puppies and elderly or disabled dogs (who are otherwise fit and well). Your dog can take part without any worries about damaging joints or bones.
Playing the Hoopers games with your dog will build your relationship, which will have a positive effect on your day-to-day life together. Hoopers commands are given at more distance, therefore the need for the handler to be running around is reduced compared to agility.
You will learn how to navigate the hoops, tunnels, and barrels, running through the hoops, going around the barrels and venturing through extra-large and shorter tunnels. Hoopers is a great social experience for both dog and handler, it will help your dog develop confidence and independence to work away from you on the equipment, slowly building skills to put together short sequences.
