Beginning Barn Hunt

The new dog sport, Barn Hunt has its roots in history when the nomad “rat catchers” traveling with their dogs would go from town to town and barn to barn ridding the barns of vermin. This new sport is open to all breeds testing the dogs hunting ability, their agility, speed, and sure- footedness while working as a team with their handler through a course built of straw bales to communicate and discriminate between tubes that are clean, those with rat litter and those with a live rat and litter. This 4-week class covers an introduction to the sport, the obstacles, the rat, sport rules, discrimination, how to learn your dog’s alert, working the different elements of a course, elevated hides and building drive.

4 week class $85.00
