Hooper at Lys Foolies

The judge was Tamara Cuypers from Belgium.

Like last year, an unofficial Hooper competition was organized at Lys Foolies.

For the first run, it comes down to control, making the dog turn properly, then pushing it into the last Hoop. Kaïa executed that flawlessly!

The second run was a tunnel festival. I didn’t push her correctly to the second barrel creating a fault.

The team run was a little harder (all teams run the same course regardless of the dog level). The main difficulty was to be able to push the dog on the last barrel and take the last hoop.
We did it flawlessly!

Hooper at Hannut

Hooper is still kind of hard to do for us. We don’t have enough training.
On the first run, I don’t properly guide her to the barrel and she happily goes for the first tunnel, disqualifying us.

On the second run, I failed to push her correctly and she came back to me. There is no video because my phone battery died right before the run.

We also had the privilege to meet Kaïa great grandmother (Joudy DU FIL DU TEMPS) and grandfather (Malouk OF SPEED OF LIGHT):

Family picture! From left to right: Malouk, Joudy, and Kaïa.

Hooper Belgium Winner

A little Hooper competition for a change! We participated in the Hooper Belgium Winner.

We finished the first run with 2 faults but failed the second one.
