Getting started with hoopers
Hoopers suits dogs of almost any age and size because the dog runs through the arch rather than jumping, which keeps impact on joints low. That makes it popular for young dogs not yet ready for jumps, older dogs, and handlers who prefer to direct from a distance. Start with a single hoop in a quiet area: stand close, lure or toss a treat so your dog passes through, and reward the moment it goes under the arch. Add a verbal cue once it is reliable, then gradually step further back and send your dog from a distance. Later, combine several hoops with tunnels and barrels into flowing courses. Keep sessions short, finish on a success, and check the hoop stands firmly before each run.
Good to know
Place hoopers on level ground, send your dog through with clear cues and reward each success.
