Dog Sports
Scentwork, Mantrailing and Hoopers classes
in Barry, Penarth and the Vale
Some of our canine companions are at their best when they are given a job to do - especially if they are from a work orientated breed. Providing dogs with a breed appropriate outlet is great for preventing undesirable behaviours forming, good mental and physical exercise and a perfect bonding opportunity for dog and owner.
​
Other benefits include:
-
builds confidence
-
increases focus and engagement
-
creates optimism

FUN!

Hoopers
Hoopers is a low impact sport for dogs and their owners. You’ll learn to direct your dog around a course from one position, so it’s accessible for dogs and owners of all abilities.
In particular, if your dog is a large or tiny breed, needs extra space or patience, or as an owner you have limited ability, then this will be a great class for you to have fun together. Hoopers really is for everyone.
