Hoopers
Canine Hoopers is a fast, fun, and low-impact dog sport designed with dogs’ long-term physical wellbeing in mind. Courses are made up of flowing lines and low-impact obstacles, allowing dogs to work confidently and comfortably. Handlers guide their dogs at a distance through hoops, large tunnels, and around barrels, creating a smooth and rewarding partnership.
Hoopers is accessible to dogs and handlers of all abilities. Because distance handling is a core part of the sport, it is particularly well suited to handlers with limited mobility, while still offering plenty of challenge and progression for those who want it.
At Puppy Plus, we run both Hoopers workshops and regular classes throughout the summer months. All of our instructors are accredited BK9 instructors, with Emma having competed in both BK9, and Hoopers UK competitions with her show and working bred labradors. We have also recently hosted several BK9 Hoopers shows at the barn, organised and run by Kev McGee, with more planned for 2026.
