Canine Hoopers is a low impact and gentle sport which makes it suitable for dogs of all ages, fitness levels, abilities and breeds.
This fun low impact sport is based on a course made up of hoops, barrels, and tunnels which flow, there are no sharp twists or sudden stops. Through the course we build on increasing the dog’s confidence around the equipment so they can work independently and build on the relationship with their handler.
Puppies from the age of 5 months old, older dogs who have maybe retired from agility that are otherwise fit and healthy and dogs that have previously suffered injury can participate as hoopers is a gentle agility course putting less pressure on joints and bones.
Starter:
For those completely new to hoopers, come and learn the foundations to teach our dog how to navigate through hoops and barrels and build your bond. Watch you and your dog's confidence grow as you work toward the L1 award.
Novice:
For those who have completed and passed our starter course. This novice course will build on the foundations of hoopers adding distance from the handler as your dog navigates its way around the course. We will be aiming to complete the Level 2 progress award.
Intermediate:
Moving on from L1 & L2 we work to increase our distance and add in tunnels as we navigate the new course. By the end of this course we will be aiming towards completing the L3 progress award.
