Napier dog clubs ambassador of the day 😍

06/09/2026

A big shout out from Napier DTC to everyone who supported our ribbon show and novelty hoopers yesterday. Our judges Chris Moody, Cam List, Robyn Fargher & Kath Graham, all the helpers especially those who weren't from our club or from the sport and the competitors - we know some of you traveled a great distance to be here.

Thank you for supporting our post class training runs - they were a big hit, as was our first ever hoopers event.

We saw some amazing runs from new dogs and handlers. All in all a fabulous day and we couldn't have done it without you.

🐾 HOOPERS NOVELTY EVENT

Have you seen Hoopers gaining traction as a dog sport and thought, “Hmm… that looks fun… but I’m not sure we’re ready to actually try it”?

Well… now you have absolutely no excuse! 😉

To help launch and promote our new Hoopers class starting this term, we’re holding a Hoopers Novelty Event straight after the completion of our Agility Ribbon Show! 🎉

🌟 The Hoopers Novelty Event this Saturday 5th Sept @ approx. 1.30 🌟

Full Hoopers course
No judge- No judgment.
Food & training allowed in the ring — controversial we know 🫣
Just $1 per run
Maximum 2 minutes per run if you’re training but circle round and have as many goes as you like!
** dogs must be 12 months or older “”

And the best part…

ANYONE CAN GIVE IT A GO! 🎉

Whether you’ve got a seasoned agility dog, a complete beginner, a dog who thinks listening is merely a suggestion, or you’ve simply been wondering what all the Hoopers fuss is about — come along and have some fun!

No pressure. No perfection required. Just you, your dog and a chance to see what Hoopers is all about. 🐾❤️

IMPORTANT: While our official Ribbon Show is running, all dogs must remain on lead and under control around the event area. Once the Ribbon Show has finished, the Hoopers fun begins!

Come along, have a laugh, give it a go… and who knows — you might just discover your dog’s new favourite sport!

Money raised will go towards getting Hoopers gear for the club

🐾 Keep Those Noses Working This Winter! 🐾

While our club is officially closed for the winter break, Brad’s Scent Work class will continue on a fortnightly basis!

Scent work taps into your dog’s greatest natural strength—their incredible sense of smell. It’s a fun, rewarding activity that builds confidence, provides excellent mental stimulation, and strengthens the bond between you and your dog.

Brad would love to see both familiar and new faces over the winter, so if you’re looking for a great way to keep your dog active and engaged and have recently completed our 10 week public classes, come along and join us!

Class details and times are in our newsletter

If you’re keen to join the club get in touch- Our next intake of public classes are also now live on our website so you can book your spot. We look forward to seeing you and your four-legged teammate! 🐶🐾
