Barn Hunt Information

In Barn Hunt, dogs are trained to run an obstacle course that's studded with a number of live rats (in aerated PVC tubes), plus empty tubes that may or may not smell like rat.

Dogs have to jump onto straw bales and crawl through dark, winding tunnels to find an ever-increasing number of hidden rats.
The rats are pets that are said to enjoy the interaction with the dogs — and officials called "rat wranglers" ensure they're treated humanely.

Meet the Rats

Intro to Barn Hunt

First-timers! For brand new people who have a dog that hasn't met the rats in the cage yet. This may be repeated if necessary, before moving on to Intro to Barn Hunt.

Cost is $20 for 15 minutes 1 dog.

Be sure you have filled out the Barn Hunt Registration form above for your dog(s)

BOOK MEET THE RATS

Intro to Barn Hunt

For dogs that have met the rat in the cage, have engaged well and are ready to move on to more of an introduction to barn hunt basics. Dogs must do Meet the rats prior to this. Trainers will let you know if your dog is ready to move to this type of training. This may be repeated several times! The idea is to get the dog familiar with the rat in the tube, finding hidden tubes, doing a very short tunnel and climbing on bales before going into the big Barn Hunt ring.

Cost is $30 for 1 dog for 30 minutes.

Be sure you have filled out the Barn Hunt Registration form above for your dog(s)

BOOK 15 minute RING RENTAL

Private Lessons

STARTING BACK IN MAY

For dogs that have finished Intro to Barn hunt and have been directed to move up to Private sessions. Instruction is included. Dogs can work on specific aspects of barn hunt like Tunnel, indicating better, working better in the ring, avoiding litter tubes, etc. This can be for upper-level dogs if there is something you need to work on. Dogs get 2-3 runs but most dogs get tired and stop working hard after the 2nd run. It's best to work to the level of your dog's attention and frustration level.

INSTRUCTION IS INCLUDED

$30 for 30 minutes 1 dog

Additional dog is $10 per dog
