Really want to get involved with this fabulous new sport? Want to give back to this wonderful sport and support your fellow show hosts? Or do you just want to learn as much as you can about course design?
Our in-depth course is designed to teach you everything you need to know about judging:
- designing courses – the different class types, handling challenges and safety aspects
- how to define the different levels and make sure your courses are set at the appropriate level with suitable challenges
- how to judge – looking at appropriate judges positioning and how to mark handlers/dogs
- applying Extra’s to the courses – how and why we put them where we do
- practical judging tips and tricks
- and so much more!
At the end of this course there is a quiz based on all the different aspects of judging. You will also have an assignment to complete. Once these sections are completed and passed, you will need to book onto a practical judging seminar. These are listed on our Available Events page and can be booked online. You will be provided with a code when you pass that you will need to input at the booking stage.
Successfully completing this online Theory Judging course will allow you to become an ‘Apprentice Judge’.
Successful completion of the Practical Judges Training Day (included in the price!) will allow you to become a fully qualified Canine Hoopers UK Judge. This means that you will be able to judge at CHUK licensed competitions, judging Starters, Novice and Intermediate levels.

So you want to teach Canine Hoopers? Love this fabulous low-impact sport and want to bring it to your area? Are you looking to further your own knowledge and help others to progress along the way? Here's how to bring a whole new world of fun to your students! Take a deep dive into the world of Canine Hoopers with our 2 day instructors course! Join us as we explore the sport of hoopers, looking at the different core exercises, why we teach them and how we teach them, learning flatwork exercises (pre-equipment), teaching equipment skills, applying our flatwork skills onto the equipment, advancing our skills, course design, course building, design program, learning about Extra's, awards schemes and tonnes of free resources as well as on-going support. The online training is delivered through video's for you to watch, work through with your own dog and submit videos of you training your own dog/friends dog etc.How will being an Accredited Canine Hoopers UK Instructor help me?
Canine Hoopers UK is the biggest and longest standing hoopers organisation in the UK, we are the ‘go to guys’ for anyone looking to take up hoopers, learn more about the sport or to compete. We have a network of qualified instructors across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales and receive many requests on a daily basis for trainer recommendations. It could be your name that we are giving them! You will also offer your students the reassurance that you have completed a professionally accredited training course and are committed to your own personal learning and providing them with the best possible introduction to the sport.What to expect:
The course is quite intense, we aim to provide you with all of the training techniques and methodology to teach Canine Hoopers within the ethos of CHUK, to a wide range of people and dogs from absolute beginners to Starters competition level. We do not expect you to be able to complete a Starters level course by the end of the course, but we do expect you to demonstrate the ability to teach the foundation behaviours to progress a training group to this level. There are several key exercises that we will focus on from the very foundations and progress them to a more advanced level.Does everyone pass?
As an organisation we pride ourselves on having a high standard of trainer carrying our Accredited status. If anyone isn’t to the standard we require then unfortunately they will not be awarded accreditation on the day, though we are skilled trainers and assessors and are looking for you to demonstrate the ability to train the exercises that we have worked through during the day and your knowledge of the methodology and foundation behaviours. We don’t expect you to deliver dynamic, polished performances straight off the bat, we do appreciate your head will be awash with new information, we just need to see that you’ll do things appropriately going forwards and that your training style and our ethos are a good fit for each other.What happens after I pass?
You will become an Accredited Canine Hoopers UK Instructor and will receive a certificate to confirm this.- FREE listing on our 'Find and Instructor' Map.
