About

Barn Hunt

​

Barn Hunt is an exciting dog sport that showcases a dog's natural instincts to hunt and work. In this sport, dogs navigate through a course filled with hay bales, searching for hidden rats in a safe and humane manner. The goal is for the dog to locate the rats, indicate their presence, and complete the course within a set time limit. Barn Hunt promotes teamwork between the handler and the dog while providing a fun and stimulating environment for both.

Happy Ratters

​

The Happy Ratter’s Philosophy – the goal is for the dog and owner to have a fun, positive and successful experience while enhancing the bond between dog and owner, and placing a high priority on safety!

• Fun, trusting environment for dogs and their handlers to hunt vermin(rats) in “urban” settings.

• A titling program that allows all dogs to compete toward different level titles.

• A program that encourages camaraderie and support between competitors.

 

“urban” setting: trash bags, boxes and barrels and other items possibly found in a city alley, with the big difference being this is clean trash, new bags with shredded paper, clean boxes, etc.
