Canine Hoopers
Would you like to learn a new sport with your dog?
During your Hoopers course you will learn about the sport and develop your dog's ability to go through hoops, tunnels and around barrells and build up to completing short courses using modern science based training. As Hoopers is an all-ability, low-impact sport it is suitable for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds and abilities and also all owners as no running is required.
The course is suitable for mixed abilities and will be tailored to ensure you are working at the level appropriate to your dog. Basic obedience is an advantage but not neccessary to enjoy the course. Classes are fun and non-competitive.
We also offer a one-off
Hoopers workshop and a
Hooping Hounds training club.
Your Hoopers course will include;
- Hoops - learning to choose to travel through a series of hoops
- Barrels - learning to go 'around' barrels from varying distances
- Tunnels - learning to travel through tunnels
- Learning to combine 2 or 3 obstacles
- Start line/wait
- Completing short courses
- Social Manners - how to greet and interact with dogs appropriately
Classes are relaxed, informative and fun. A maximum of 6 dogs per class we ensure dogs and owners have space and time to progress.
Location
Our classes are held outside at our private training field at Moat Farm in Stoke Mandeville.
Please Note, group courses are suitable for dogs who are comfortable in the presence of other dogs, if your dog is human or dog reactive a series of 121 training would be more suitable. Please contact us prior to booking if you are unsure if this course is suitable for you.
If our class days/times don't suit we offer a variety of other services including Courses, Workshops, 121 training and a Training SOS phone/skype support call
