She is so full of positivity, encouragement and clear passion for dogs. The online, WhatsApp and pre-course support is also excellent from both Amanda and Bella.

“Both dog and handler gain a great sense of achievement, an even greater bond and so much pride! I could not recommend it [Hoopers] more.”
WEBSITE COURSE REVIEW: “The Hoopers course run by Amanda is greatly beneficial to both dogs and their "parents". It allows dogs to learn at their pace through repetition, in a calm, friendly, fun environment and build confidence. The small number of dogs allows Amanda to closely monitor individual progress and adjust instructions. Both dog and handler gain a great sense of achievement, an even greater bond and so much pride! I could not recommend it more.”
“Her online content is clear and easy to follow. So lovely to talk to someone who is obviously passionate about what they do and wants to help create the best outcome/experience for the dog and their family.”

“We’ve been informed of so many little tips and tricks to make the puppy life somewhat easier.”
FACEBOOK RECOMMENDATION: “Myself and my family have attended the 6 week puppy course with Bella and it is so interesting. Interesting in a way, that it’s amazing how many people I’ve come across that don’t know how we’ve been advised to train our little pup. We’ve been informed of so many little tips and tricks to make the puppy life somewhat easier. After our 6 week course, we then proceeded with 2, 1-1 sessions with Amanda. She is so knowledgeable, kind and lovely. She really does care about our puppies little world. I’ve honestly learnt so much and things that I can implement at home and has made my life so much easier. Thank you Bella and Amanda. It’s been a pleasure and thanks for introducing and helping me with mum life.”

“Bella's advice was reassuring, pragmatic and insightful with lovely humour.”
WHATSAPP MESSAGE: “Bella is wonderful and understood our individual "quirks" tailoring the approach and training contents. Bobb was easy, it was me and Scott who were hard to train! Bella's advice was reassuring, pragmatic and insightful with lovely humour. Bobb's progress is so heart warming and the process has enabled Scott to bond fabulously with him and Bobb's confidence has grown so much. A huge huge thank you to Bella, it was wonderful for us to have Bella's expertise and support at the start of our life with our little treasure”.
