WHAT IS HOOPERS?!

WHAT IS HOOPERS?!

Hoopers is fast and fluid where dogs get to negotiate a course of hoops, barrels and tunnels whilst the handler directs them at distance.

Distance handling upskills the human/canine partnership whilst 'lower impact' and generally safer by avoiding jumps, tight turns and heights. Great for junior and senior dogs as well as handlers with limited physical fitness - your dog does the hard work! Big dogs, small dogs, any breed of any age can enjoy Canine Hoopers. Come and join the fun!
