Here’s an idea 💡 for those dogs that enjoy playtime with a ball.
As most of you know, a ball flinger and chasing the ball can put enormous strain on joints and can have a detrimental impact on our dogs if over done. It’s not something I recommend.
🐾 Instead of throwing the ball, try putting a ball out somewhere in the grass and send your dog to look for it.
It’s a great way to have some fun and it will tire your dog out!
Wilf enjoyed searching for a chuckit ball today.
Wednesday fun session 7.30
Happy dogs, happy guardians!
This is our first go in at least 2 years, probably more. To say I’m chuffed with Wilf is an understatement.
Whistle recall
Whistle recall. Before anyone tells me I’m not doing the right pips with the whistle, I only use it for recall & one pip works well for us! I do use a verbal recall at times, I like to mix it up as sometimes I may not have the whistle and have to rely on the verbal cue.
Scatter feeding
A quick example of scatter feeding while out with my dogs. I would normally throw more treats over a bigger area. I love doing this, the dogs love it and I love to stand and watch them enjoying themselves 🫶🏻
Reggie and Dan
Handsome Reggie was diagnosed with Wobblers a few years ago. Look at him enjoying Hoopers, it’s wonderful 🥰
Reggie gets the best care to manage his Wobblers, he has regular check ups, treatments and physio…..this is why he is able to enjoy life and take part in gentle activities that he loves 🫶🏻

Here’s the lovely Molly doing a great job!
Molly has tried lots of different activities, she’s definitely found the right thing with Hoopers. It fills me with joy seeing Molly enjoying herself. The real credit goes to Mollys owners, Amanda and Sam, not forgetting their fantastic Hoopers Instructor, my good friend, Jess at Pawfect Pets Dog Training.
Elfie 🐾🐾
Possibly not a breed that you’d think would do Hoopers; look at Elfie, isn’t she great?! 🤩
Pheonix and Lauren having fun
Pheonix is just starting out with Hoopers, she’s enjoying herself each week 🫶🏻
Hoopers fun. The stunning Pheonix has recently started her Hoopers journey. We are having a lot of fun with it.
Fun with Pheonix and Lauren
