About this class

Are you just looking for a fun and different activity to do with your dog and wondering if your dog would enjoy Barn Hunt or Urban Locating?

Then this is the class for you!


In this class we will focus on building your dog's comfort and drive to finding the rat in both a Quarry Box (Used in Urban Locating & Trailing & Locating) and a tube (used in Barn Hunt).

Rats are handled and hidden safely in special containers by your instructor. Dogs only have protected contact with our healthy, bred-for Barn Hunt, pet rats.

Our rats love working with the dogs and have been trained for this work since they were babies! They are beloved pets and very well cared for under strict Barn Hunt Association rules.

Dogs must be able to handle confinement in a crate inside a car or properly equipped vehicle between turns.  As the weather gets warmer come prepared with water, fans and shade covers.


Upon completion of this class you will be eligible to take our Barn Hunt & Urban Locating Classes.


There are a MAX of 4 dogs per class to be sure each dog has time to work and process the information and learn the skills needed to succeed. Dogs will rotate their turns throughout the class to be able to have some downtime and for you to be able to watch other teams and ask questions.


Schedule: Classes are 4 weeks (please see "Session Notes" for any preplanned skip weeks).  We meet the same day and time each week for 1 hour.


Make Up Classes: There are no make ups for missed days for these classes.


Weather Related Schedule Changes: Please note that in the summer months, we may have to skip unexpectedly due to heat/smoke. Those classes will be added on to the end of your current series.


Requirements:

  • Proof of DHPP & Rabies vaccines
