Hoopers Training

Hoopers is a fun and inclusive dog sport that focuses on speed and teamwork without the physical strain of jumping.

In Hoopers, dogs navigate a course of ground-level hoops, tunnels, and barrels, guided by their handler’s cues.

It’s an excellent activity for dogs of all sizes and ages, including those who may not be suited to high-impact sports.

The handler’s job is to guide their dog smoothly through the course, promoting clear communication and control.

You can start training for Hoopers at your local dog training club.

As you and your dog develop your skills, you can earn The National Dog Training Award Scheme’s Hoopers Awards.

Remember to visit your local club and check out the current award descriptions below for this flowing sport.
