Absolutely over the moon to have Rupert and Arron back for regular classes after Rupert pulled up lame in May and had to have some time off for rehab.

Of course Rupert hadn’t forgotten a thing and got straight back to it, distance and all 🤩

Disco is 3 🎂🎂🎂

I’d love to share some happy anecdotes and boasts but it’s been a difficult and sad year for us. My hopes plans and goals for our life together have completely changed and we are currently negotiating a new normal.

Disco was found to have level 3 lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LTV). This means he needs to restrict his activity to reduce the impact on his spinal cord, nerves and hips. It also means life long pain medication.

LTV is congenital and nothing that could have been predicted or prevented at any stage. It’s just one of those really unlucky things. Everything else about him is perfect (as the vet doing the MRI so helpfully pointed out).

All of this is taking a lot of figuring out. Limited activity for a young, very driven, working cocker is a juggling act and we’re only just finding our way with what we can get away with.

He is still the most loving and caring dog I’ve ever had; dishing out cuddles and making sure to do something silly to make me laugh. He’s a smart boy but gives 110% energy to most activities so it’s a massive learning curve for both of us to live life a little slower!

It’s was lovely to have Anna, a local vet, and her handsome Bedlington x whippet, Rafferty, join us for the Hoopers Foundation Course earlier this year.

Sad that they have had to have time off due to Anna’s work commitments but very much looking forward to having them back to join us in the future 😊

Here’s Anna’s full 5 start review:

“I absolutely loved doing the Hoopers Foundation Course with Beccy, and Raffy loved it too! 🐾❤️

As he is a nervous dog who can be reactive, the thought of joining a group class was quite daunting, but Beccy set everything up so perfectly for him. From the very beginning I felt like she really understood Raffy — she could see his lovely qualities and understood that his moments of reactivity come from being nervous, not from being naughty.

It’s been so lovely watching his confidence grow over the course. I’ve noticed such a huge difference in him, not just with his confidence but also in his ability (or willingness! 😂) to listen to me when we’re out and there are distractions around.

I already felt like we had a really good bond, but doing this together brought us even closer, and it’s been brilliant having something that we both really enjoy. I also enjoy how soundly he sleeps after a training session!

Unfortunately, because of work commitments, we’re having to take a break from classes, but we’re looking forward to getting back as soon as our schedule allows!

I recommend Beccy and the Foundation Course regularly to dog owners I meet through my work, and encourage anyone to give it a go. Especially if you have a nervous dog and aren’t sure whether a group class will work for them — it absolutely can! 🥰

Thank you Beccy for helping Raffy (and me!) grow in confidence! 🐶❤️”

Erm Axel, we’d all prefer you made contact with the bottom of the tunnel not the top! 🫣

Toast’s first time through a tunnel: nailed it!

Such a confident smart boy 🥰🤩

A lovely 5 star review from Jonna and Ollie 😊

Here’s what Jonna had to say about the Foundation Hoopers Course:

“I recently completed the Foundation Course with Hoop Doggy Dogs with my staffy-bulldog cross Ollie, and we absolutely loved the course. Hoopers is completely new for us and Beccy’s foundation class gave us simply the perfect introduction to the sport. In addition to getting familiar with all the hoopers obstacles, classes introduced great skills that come in handy also outside of the hoopers classes, and clearly great deal of thought has gone into the course design. I absolutely recommend Beccy as trainer, the small group size was perfect and allowed tailored advise to every dog-and-handler pair. I loved the positive and encouraging environment and the dog-first approach to everything. We are definitely going to continue our hoopers journey and have booked continuation course with Hoop Doggy Dogs ❤️”

It’s been an absolute pleasure having these guys in the foundation group and I’m very much looking forward to Jonna and Ollie joining progression classes for more hoopers fun 🤩
