​K9 HOOPERS

This program is under renovation and is not available at the moment, but it will be back in a few months!
 An agility-type sport where you and your dog learn to navigate a smooth and flowy obstacle course made of hoops, barrels, and tunnels. European trainers developed this fun and fast activity as a low-impact alternative to traditional agility, thus making the sport easily accessible to most dog breeds, sizes, and ages. 
  • Meet your dog’s enrichment needs with this fun and bonding activity.​​
  • ​Build confidence in shy, anxious, or nervous dogs.
  • Take it easy on your best friend’s joints.  K9 Hoopers has no jumps or sharp turns and is an all-inclusive sport that is ideal for dogs of all sizes and ages.​​
  • Effectively release excess mental and physical energy for active and high-spirited dogs.​​

K9 PARKOUR

Also known as "urban agility," it is a fun sport where dogs interact (jump, climb, balance over, crawl under, walk on, go around, and get into) with objects/obstacles in their everyday world. You will learn to look at the landscape with a "parkour eye" to find engaging ways for you and your dog to interact with your environment. You'll never look at your walks around the neighborhood the same way again!

  • You’ll learn how to use everyday items like chairs, benches, rocks, poles, branches, trees, furniture, and boxes to encourage your dog to interact and burn mental and physical energy.  ​

FUN SCENT GAMES
