Introduction to Hoopers
Hoopers is a relatively new (and fun!) type of dog sport that has grown in popularity over the last few years.
Ideal for dogs and owners of all ages and fitness levels, the flowing courses see dogs navigating a series of hoops, barrels and tunnels. It has a similar pace and excitement as the agility category but without the jumps and tight turns– making it accessible for everyone!
Aims:
- To promote good dog behavior and responsible dog ownership.
- To have a good knowledge of the aspects of Hoopers as a low impact, fun sport for dogs.
- To encourage consistency throughout the training in a friendly and respectful manner.
All training must be done using modern force-free techniques.
