Hoopers
Canine hoopers is a fast, fun, low-impact dog sport. Hoopers has been designed to protect the dog's long-term well-being by maintaining flowing courses of low impact obstacles. Handlers are required to handle their dogs through hoops, large tunnels, and around barrels at a distance.
Hoopers is accessible to all dogs and handlers, in particular, those handlers with limited mobility as distance handling is a crucial factor in training for canine hoopers.
At Puppy Plus, we run both hoopers workshops and also regular classes over the summer months. All of our Instructors are accredited Canine Hoopers UK Instructors or BK9 Instructors. Both Emma and Katie have competed in Hoopers UK competitions with their own dogs. Recently we have also hosted several BK9 Hoopers shows at the barn, organized and run by Kev McGee. We will be hosting more in 2025.
