Heather and Her Pawsome Pack!
Heather lives in a bustling household with her family and their three canine companions: Lupa, a Malinois with boundless energy, Zulu, a delightfully mixed breed of Malinois and Chihuahua, and Falkor, a miniature American Shepherd full of character.
Heather’s a dab hand at dog training, having competed in obedience and agility over the years. However, when Lupa suffered a shoulder injury during an agility session, their training days seemed to be over.
Discovering Hoopers: A New Chapter
Never one to give up, Heather searched for an activity that would keep Lupa mentally and physically stimulated. That’s when she stumbled upon the fantastic sport of hoopers – a perfect low-impact activity for her furry friend. What started as a way to keep Lupa active soon blossomed into a full-blown passion for Heather. She loved it so much, she decided to become a qualified instructor and share the joy of hoopers with other dog owners!
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!
In November 2018, Heather officially became an accredited hoopers instructor. Since then, “Team Heather and Lupa” haven’t looked back! They’ve had a cracking year competing in UK Hoopers shows, even clinching the prestigious title of 2021 Novice Champions. Heather’s dedication and Lupa’s enthusiasm are truly a winning combination!
