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.
