It's more than a sport – it's a voyage of learning, joy, and partnership.
Act fast – each class is limited to 4 dogs and handlers.

What Our Customers Are Saying...
I started taking my dog to Hoopers training classes because he loves being with me and learning new things. We started attending Hoopers in March 2020. In a fairly short time, Henry has earned his Level 1 & 2 Rosettes.
In order to achieve this, he had to learn to turn in different directions, to move away from me and to read my body language as this helps him to go in the right direction. These skills are great fun at Hoopers classes but they are also useful when we are out on walks.
Natasja is an excellent trainer. She gives clear instructions and also demonstrates with her own dogs. If Henry or I make a mistake Natasja pinpoints where I have gone wrong and helps me put it right.
All the training is reward-based and there is no pressure on either dogs or handlers. There are 10 levels in Hoopers, Henry and I still have some way to go! In the meantime we are having fun, learning lots in the process and building a stronger bond between us.
- Cynthia Metcalfe
I have been training with Natasja for about 3 years.
She has always been supportive of my over-enthusiastic dog and has helped her focus. She has always encouraged me to believe in our ability to achieve our goals.
We attend both the Rally Obedience and Hoopers classes and have attended some of the workshops that Natasja runs.
Natasja is a very friendly and approachable trainer

Natasja Lewis DipCABT
In 1994, my fascination with dog training ignited as I welcomed Dali, a Shetland Sheepdog, into our family. The challenges we faced birthed my passion for canine behaviour, propelling me to refine my skills through intensive study, workshops, and a deep understanding of training methodologies.
Central to my approach is the revolutionary Fun | Focus | Play® method. Unlike traditional techniques, it forges a joyful partnership, aligning with the latest in canine behavior science. Beyond being a skilled trainer, I'm also an author, my books "No Pulling Allowed" and "Dogz Thinkz Differentz," unveiling innovative perspectives on training.
What sets me apart is not only my years of experience and knowledge, but the ethos of choice and collaboration that defines my training. Our journey together isn't just about training your pup; it's about fostering a profound bond, understanding, and confidence, allowing you to navigate the complexities of dog ownership seamlessly. Let's sculpt a harmonious connection that transcends the ordinary – reach out today to unlock your dog's true potential.
