What is Hoopers?

Hoopers is a fun activity for dogs and their owners, that is low impact on your dogs joints. Your dog will navigate a flowing course of obstacles, mainly hoops but also can include barrels, tunnels and a mat. Learning with your dog and building on your teamwork together. Great for physical and mental stimulation for your dog. This sport is suitable for most dogs over the age of 6 months and handlers of all ages and abilities as distance handling is encouraged.

My Story

I've been training and competing in agility for about 7 years with my rescue miniature poodle Dobby. We also enjoy some rally and trick training together.

3 years ago we started our hoopers journey. Self-teaching and attending workshops to further our learning. We then began competing in 2020 and have enjoyed it ever since.

My passion for training, particularly hoopers, has grown over the years. In 2021 I completed the Canine Hoopers World Instructors Level 1 and Level 2 courses online. I now want to share this great activity with other dog owners, so they can enjoy time with their dogs.
