Beginner Hoopers
This class will teach dog-and-handler to navigate through a hoopers course made up of hoops, tunnels, and barrels. It encourages dogs to work independently while responding to their handler’s cues. It is similar to agility but without the jumping and contact obstacles. It is a wonderful way to develop new skills, strengthen your partnership with your dog, and enjoy an activity that is accessible to a wide variety of dogs and handlers.
Prerequisites: Dogs must have completed Beginner Obedience, Obedience 1, or the equivalent and must have a reliable off-leash recall.
Continuing Hoopers
Build on the skills learned in Beginner Hoopers with more challenging course layouts, increased distance work, and improved communication between dog and handler. Teams will focus on developing confidence, accuracy, and independence while navigating increasingly complex courses. This class is ideal for teams looking to advance their skills and work toward earning Hoopers titles.
Prerequisite: Beginner Hoopers or instructor approval.
