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!

Canine Paws Academy and The Dog Squad Official Kings Hill offer Hoopers training but the TRAIN link on the Doggy Directory is growing all the time! The Dog Squad Official train Hoopers at Ryarsh Paw Ground.
