The Power of Play
Why play is at the heart of great dog training
Play is the Foundation
Play is one of the most powerful tools in dog training. A dog that loves to play is motivated, engaged and eager to work with you — and that's exactly what hoopers is all about.
That's why I'm proud to be a Tug-E-Nuff Pro Member. Tug-E-Nuff make exceptional high-value tug toys designed specifically for training — and my dogs absolutely love them. I use them in sessions and they make a real difference to engagement and reward value.

Play & Hoopers
High Value Reward
A tug toy can be a far more powerful reward than food for many dogs — keeping drive and engagement sky high during training.
Builds the Bond
Interactive play strengthens the handler-dog relationship — which is the very foundation of distance handling in hoopers.
Keeps Drive Up
A well-timed game of tug between runs keeps your dog switched on, focused and ready to go again.
