Barn Hunt - Intro to the Sport

Is your dog obsessed with squirrels? Do they need an outlet for his pent-up energy?

​

Are you just looking for a fun and different activity to do with your dog?

​

If you answered yes to any of these, then Barn Hunt could be the sport for you!

This growing dog sport allows dogs to safely use their nose to search for and find rats hidden in a straw bale maze.

​

Rats are handled and hidden safely in specialized, bite-proof 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.

​

Learn about preparing for competition or just come and play for fun!

​​

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.
