Hoopers: What’s It All About?
Have you heard? There’s a new dog sport in town - and its rapidly growing in popularity.
Hoopers is a fun, low impact, free flowing sport that has a strong following now in Central BC.
Hoopers agility has smooth flowing courses mostly made of hoops, barrels & short straight tunnels. There are no jumps, tight turns, weaves, or contact equipment. There is no full out running by the handler as dogs will mainly be running at a distance. This makes Hoopers suitable for people of all ages & physical abilities.
People feel it is safer and more suitable for some dogs, particularly older ones, young dogs, and dogs whose body build may not be designed for the rigors of agility courses. The equipment is cheaper and easy to set up, making it accessible to more people.
