INTRODUCTION TO 'HOOPERS' WORKSHOP with Alison Edgington Saturday 3rd March at CanineKinetics. 2 hour session with maximum of 6 dogs in class - £35. Please pm or email helen@caninekinetics.co.uk to book a place... "...Hoopers is a dog agility game that has become popular in America and has now made it's way over here to the UK. It's based on agility but instead of going over jumps the dog runs through specially designed hoops. ...The Hoopers class is a course as designed by the handler to demonstrate the dog’s ability to follow directional tests upon the direction of the handler. The game is catching on over here as a discipline that is separate to agility and many people see it as a fun way to exercise dogs that have retired or dogs that may be building up their fitness after injury. When you see the American dogs though they are far from elderly or infirm. One thing that may appeal to people is that you don't always have to run with your dog". (information taken from AgilityNet) Here's a YouTube clip of an experienced dog to give you an idea of what can be achieved! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7eG2mbD8J0
