Hoopers is a fun dog sport for everyone regardless of ability. Dogs must navigate hoops, tunnels, and barrels without the risks of traditional agility courses. It is similar to agility courses but without the tight turns and is great for a bonding experience with your dog.
Many pet owners will feel happier about choosing an event such as Canine Hoopers over an agility course due to the positive benefits it can bring to your dog. Surprisingly, there is even the opportunity for a little friendly competition because there is a chance to win something.
