Barmuckity Mutts dog Agility and Hoopers training

Barmuckity Mutts dog Agility and Hoopers training Dog agility training and Hooper training using positive reinforcement and shaping methodology as supported by the SSPCA. Most dogs simply love doing Hoopers.

Blocks of 6 foundation and more advanced classes of no more then 5 dogs and handlers. Barmuckity Mutts Hoopers and more for dogs reward based training helps you develop a much deeper relationship with your dog. As well as teaching them the exciting dog sport that is Hoopers. I run classes where numbers are restricted to no more than 6 participants. You can move though a series of classes to compe

tition level. If that is what you wish to do. Or you can simply enjoy your dogs enjoying themselves at any level. Above all, I aim for safe and fun filled lessons where handlers and their dogs can learn Hoopers and other fun sports in a positive, supportive and relaxed environment. Hooper training can be beneficial for all dogs from young pups to retired dogs. Courses are flowing with no tight turns making it kind on a dogs body. Hoopers can provide mental stimulation, motivation and builds confidence and focus, thereby promoting a very strong bond between dog and owner. Handlers may run with their dogs as in dog agility, or can teach their dogs to work away from them. This makes it a wonderful sport for those handlers less able, who need to remain relatively stationary. A fulfilled dog is a happy dog! I am an advanced level two Hoopers trainer and Judge. I have been teaching the relatively new sport of Hoopers for six years. At one time I was one of only two advanced level Hoopers trainers in Scotland. For a number of years I also taught Dog agility but now prefer to concentrate on the new, exciting and evolving sport of Hoopers. I also provide occasional courses or workshops in tricks, or movement, or a combination of all called Game On.

I'm sad to say that I don't use my page very much anymore. The reason is failing health prevents me from working as I once did. That doesn't mean to say I've stopped thinking about how dogs think and how best to communicate with them.
An example of this happened last night. My girl sleeps in a canvas kennel in the bedroom. Usually she can't wait to get in there as she gets a bedtime treat. Last night she went in slowly but then came out strait away. She looked jokey, excited. This is her response to anything she is not sure about. I thought there might be a fly in her bed. She does not like things that buzz. I pulled the bedding out and with my torch on, I looked everywhere in and around the kennel but found nothing. I asked her to go back in which she did but then came out again and joined me in my bed. She still looked excited. I could have insisted she went to bed but I knew something was not right. My husband took her back down stairs and out into the garden where she had a p*e.
However although she did go to her bed after that she did not settle as normal. My response was to be curious. What was it she was trying to tell me? It wasn't until morning that I found the problem. A large bee was on the floor on the landing. I think she had heard it in the spare room the previous night.
We lifted the bee and took it outside, where it flew off at sp*ed.
I think the moral of the story is, trust your dog when he/she is trying to tell you something. Know what their body language is showing you. Never ever tell them off, they are trusting you, trust them!

I’ve been a fully qualified CHUK Hoopers trainer for six years now. This weekend I’m proud to say that after a two day trainers training with BK9 (another hoopers organisation who have different training ideas and different rules for their shows,) I have qualified as an approved Hoopers trainer. I look forward to passing on all my knowledge to my current and future students.

I get it.....I really do.
It is cold, you just got home and you have 30 minutes to walk your dog, but you also need to get some exercise in to destress, unwind and get the blood pumping.
Your dog will love it...won't they ?
Some will, but lately there are too many dogs running "dutifully" behind people.
Some dogs have obvious limps but people can't see that from out the front.
Some dogs attempt to stop...to urinate and are tugged/dragged to continue, because your pace is good and you want to continue.
Sniffing and enrichment isn't a consideration at all...it can't be because that run needs to continue for your own well being and reasons.
At the pace you set.
For the time you set.
Are their needs even a consideration in the decision making?
Is this for them or for you ?
Sometimes our dogs needs for enrichment and enjoyment are easily forgotten because every night we must walk or run that certain route...in that certain time.
Or WE don't feel better.......
