Hoopers Foundations and Beyond

Course Summary

This course is an introduction to hoopers, a sport that is agility-like but a non-impact sport. The rules in every country are different. In Canada, the dog goes through hoops, tunnels, around barrels and gates. Bonus points are given for working at a distance. This course follows the guidelines of Canine Hoopers of Canada and has been designed by a long time agility instructor and judge who has become a hoopers aficionado and now CHC judge.
