Barn Hunt Information

** We are not a licensed Barn Hunt club **

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.


New dogs must do a meet the rat session. That is the only session you need to schedule for your first time. Once the trainers tell you your dog can work in a Ring Rental, you can schedule that. 


For information on Barn Hunt check out the Barn Hunt 

Association page. www.barnhunt.com

Fill out this Barn Hunt information form to get started. You only need to fill this form out once for each dog you want to bring to Barn Hunt Sessions. After you fill out this form for your dog, you don't have to do it again for that dog!
