Agility and Hoopers
Need help with your dog's agility or hoopers training?
Hoopers Courses
Hoopers Foundation Level
Ideal for dogs from 8 months upwards. It has minimal impact on limbs and joints. The courses consist of hoops, barrels, large short tunnels.
In the course we break down each piece of equipment using targeting techniques we teach each canine team how to use each piece. You and your canine team will then build the pieces of equipment together. Learning how to send your dog round the course is the final part and of course having fun.
