Barn Hunt:
Dogs of many breeds (including PWDs) are capable of performing the tasks to search for rats; don't let terriers take all the glory for hunting vermin!
Dogs and their handlers work as a team to locate and mark rats (which are always safely held in aerated tubes) hidden in a maze of straw or hay bales. Can your dog do Barn Hunt? As long as your dog can fit through an 18″ wide bale-height tall tunnel, he’s eligible! Barn Hunt is designed to test the nose, speed, agility, and surefootedness of the competitors.
Barn Hunt events include a pass/fail instinct class for owners who want to familiarize their dog with the test. Advanced courses are made increasingly difficult by adding more obstacles, additional diversions, and more rats to find.
