Sometimes Hoopers can be a dog's first experience of training and it works . Other times we need to put a dog trainers hat on rather than the Hoopers trainers hat.

The training that builds resilience are the fun games and not the important stuff. People tend to get frustrated when the important stuff goes wrong and this can knock a dog's confidence. Good planning and breaking training into small steps can help build your dog's confidence and resilience.
