Service Description
Hoopers Foundations – 6 Week Course Venue: Callander K9 Dates: Starting - Thursday 2nd April • Thu 9 April • Thu 16 April • Thu 23 April • Thu 30 April • Thu 7 May Time: 5.30pm Price: £150 Flow, focus, and freedom – all without the jumps! Hoopers is a low-impact, fun dog sport that’s accessible for all breeds, sizes, and ages. It’s especially beneficial for dogs who love to move but need a joint-friendly outlet – including puppies, senior dogs, and dogs recovering from injury (with vet sign-off). We use shaping and reward-based games to build confidence, independence, and clarity. Shaping lets your dog problem-solve and work things out in small steps – making it ideal for sensitive, thoughtful, or highly intelligent dogs. We welcome reactive or easily distracted dogs – this course offers space, structure, and guidance to help them succeed in a safe environment.
