What is Hoopers?
Welcome to the exciting world of canine hoopers! This relatively new dog sport has been gaining popularity around the world in recent years, and for good reason. Canine hoopers combines agility, obedience, and teamwork between dogs and their handlers to create a thrilling and challenging experience for both.
Hoopers courses consist of a series of hoops, tunnels, and barrels that dogs navigate through in a specific order, with the guidance of their handlers. Unlike other dog sports, there are no jumps or contact obstacles, which makes it a low-impact activity suitable for dogs of all ages and sizes.
Not only is canine hoopers a fun way to bond with your furry companion, but it also provides mental and physical stimulation for them, helping to improve their overall health and wellbeing. Whether you are looking for a new challenge for you and your dog, or simply a fun way to spend some quality time together, canine hoopers is definitely worth exploring. So why not give it a try? You and your dog might just discover a new favorite activity!
