What is Canine Hoopers?
Hoopers is a low impact dog sport, suitable for dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages and abilities.
Dogs and handlers work together in partnership around a set course of obstacles – hoops, barrels, chutes, gates and contact mats.
The aim is for the handler to move as little as possible while guiding their dog around the course.
Low impact
Dogs run through hoops and chutes, over flat contact mats, past gates and around barrels, in a safe and enclosed ring.
Distance handling
Handlers progress to move very little and direct their dog around the course from a handling/Skill area.
This sport suits people of all levels of fitness and mobility.
Fun and friendly
A supportive and encouraging environment, where all dogs are capable of success.
