Bringing fun activities for you & your K9 companion.
Welcome to K9 Activ! We are dedicated to our four-legged (and three-legged) K9 friends. Our joy comes from engaging in fun and enriching activities with dogs while nurturing a strong, positive bond between the dog and handler.
K9HoopawActiv Hoopers Classes & 1-2-1s
Hoopers is an inclusive form of low-impact K9 sport. It involves guiding a dog through a course of hoops, tunnels, barrels and gates. It's designed to be inclusive for all dogs and handlers, including puppies, senior dogs and dogs with physical limitations.
Training sessions are structured and help dog and handler develop teamwork and communication skills. Learn distance handling and independent obstacle navigation. Building confidence and focus. Keeping your K9 active and mentally stimulated in a fun and positive activity.
Look out for more activities coming to Oxfordshire soon.

K9 Activ - More than just training, has come about after years of rescuing dogs, some social, others completely not. All have had some issue or other. With every dog we took in, I found that the usual training classes just didn't fulfil what we needed. The usual command based, obedience training was mundane and we were usually far in advance of others in the classes. They just didn't advance fast enough for us.
Many very difficult rescue dogs have graced our home over the years but each time we find that we don't fit the regular training classes and trainers. None more so than my current rescue, Zella.
Too big to fit in with other puppy's at regular classes. Her behavioural traits indicitive of her breed, seem to frighten most trainers, other dogs and dog owners not familiar with her type. This meant we were 'left out' or 'excluded'.
We have been fortunate to meet a few very outstanding trainers who have given us the help and support we needed. Tatiana of Happy K9 Training and Behaviour has been an amazingly supportive trainer. Tailoring specifically to our highly intelligent but extremely protective K9's needs. We cannot thank Tatiana enough for helping us through it all.
Other trainers have helped with other aspects and to them, I thank them to. They have helped us build an amazing bond with our wonderful girl, Zella. Buz, our sweet natured and ever loving Boxer has just been along for the ride.
Through all of this, I felt that I cannot be the only one that wants 'more than just walking the dog' every day, 'more than just obedience classes'. More fun each day.
Wanting to build on the bond we have built, through the activities we have done, I retrained as a Hoopers instructor.
From this my aim is to offer others a new, fun activity to do with their K9's. A sport that is completely inclusive, even for puppies, dogs with ailments and even behaviour struggles.
My hope is that no one will be left out.
With plans to bring other activities along side Hoopers to Oxfordshire in the near future.
We hope you will join us on our new journey.
