Our activity 121’s are all about you and your dog having fun and learning some new skills. I train a variety of different canine sports and can adapt to any level of experience or ability. Choose from hoopers, parkour, obedience, fun scentwork or games. Or mix it up and learn a mixture of new things.
Note these activity sessions can be booked for groups of friends/family members – maximum of 3 dogs, at no extra charge.
Parkour
Dog Parkour is all about getting us and our dogs interacting with the world in a new and novel way. We train parkour as part of our training classes as it encourages calm, focused and fun behaviour whilst on lead. This is a great way to build confidence in our dogs. It can make walks more meaningful and fun AND builds great relationships with our dogs. You learn about the potential of shaping our dogs behaviour to encourage them to make the correct choices. This is low impact and encourages safe movement so is suitable for puppies through to older dogs. Parkour is perfect for dogs that need to remain on lead when out and about.
Emma is an Advanced Dog Parkour UK (DPUK) instructor and assessor – so you know you are in good hands. She has also been invited to talk about parkour on the DogCast podcast Episode 273 – dog parkour and dog news discussion | DogCast Radio
We often run themed parkour workshops or Dog Parkour UK (DPUK) workshops – click here for more information.
Hoopers
Hoopers is a great way to have fun with your dog and learn a new sport. It is very similar to agility but without the jumps. It is low impact so is perfect for all dogs from puppies to golden oldies, Pugs to Great Danes. It is also more accessible for handlers as we promote distance handling, so being able to run with your dog is not necessary. We also run Sam’s Hoopers shows, hoopers workshops and a four day hoopers camp every year.
Emma is an Advanced ACHUKI and has been teaching hoopers since 2018. She is an experienced judge and show organiser. Emma loves hoopers because it allowed her to keep participating in dog sports when Zoe (the lurcher) had to stop doing agility.
Good Hoopers Awards – these are assessments that you take at different stages of your hoopers journey. Allowing for you to see the progress you and your dog are making. From Foundation through to Gold, these test your partnership and skills. The rosettes and certificate are definitely worth aiming for, and you can get these awards at no extra cost.
