Hoopers Taster
1.5 hour workshop - £40
Have you heard of hoopers for dogs? Hoopers is a great activity for every dog as it is a sport designed for low impact on our dogs bodies, however that doesn't mean they wont be exhausted afterwards! Hoopers is very mentally taxing as it requires to dogs to follow verbal and physical cues given from the owner.
To see hoopers in action, I've popped a video link below -

Rainbow Runs
1 hour session - £25
Rainbow runs is a super fun session involving our dogs running up and down a line of 6 jumps. It is a similar set up to fly ball, with jumps in a row, where to dog is required to run down the line of jumps and return down the line of jumps whilst the owner remains at the start.
Ideal for dogs who have a lot of energy and it involves a lot of impulse control with stay exercises.

Scent Workshop

TESTIMONIALS
Fantastic puppy classes, I cannot recommended highly enough. So informative, well planned and enjoyable. We will be signing up to more classes as soon as we can. Thank you Emma and team!
Very caring, friendly, patient & knowledgeable staff. Answered all our questions, gave some good ideas to help with individual queries & situations. Lovely people. We'd recommend them & so would our puppy!
Amazing dog training school, great for puppy classes and now at the workshops! 10/10 recommended to all friends and family with dogs!!
Friendly, experienced, helpful staff and engaging classes. We feel safe in their hands in the puppy class as we navigate life with a young puppy and look forward to taking future courses.
We have just complete the Overfriendly Dogs course and it was exactly what we all needed. Each session extends the previous weeks learning in just the right way. The exercises are clearly explained and easy to transfer into training back at home. Both trainers are friendly, patient, encouraging and easy to talk to. All of our questions about issues at home were answered in detail and the advice given has proved to be very successful and we are seeing very positive improvements. . We would strongly recommend Happy Dogs Training School.
Thoroughly enjoy attending the classes at Happy Dogs . We do agility and have progressed through beginners to expert class . Dog loves it and learns , we love it and learn and all in an enjoyable and fun environment with lovely people and very professional and enthusiastic trainers . Thoroughly recommend
Have been coming to classes run by Emma and her team for over a year now, having moved to join their puppy class after a poor experience elsewhere. Fantastic positive training with the dog’s enjoyment and welfare at the forefront at all times. Successful in completing the Bronze kennel club award we have moved on from obedience classes to fun classes of which they do a range. Currently enjoying agility 😊. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn how to have a motivated, happy and obedient dog ( some of the time anyway 😂)
We have so much fun at Happy Dogs at Elmtree! . We regularly do Agility and have also tried Scent and Tracking, Rally, Hoopers and Parkour as well as Emma's special obstacle courses and rainbow runs. The small classes mean that even a crazy hyperactive terrier gets tired!!! Very safe secure facilities, lots of colourful fun equipment and very friendly clear teaching. Regular updates on future courses and an easy to use booking system. Looking forward to more fun and games this weekend!!! Thank you Emma and team.
