Is your dog constantly on the prowl for squirrels, moles and any other critters that appear in your backyard? If so, they should be a natural for the fun sport of Barn Hunt. This dog sport requires little prior training. It is based on the hunting and teamwork skills historically used by “rat catchers,” who rid farms of vermin. Dogs and handlers work as a team to locate and mark rats (safe inside their aerated tubes) hidden in a maze of straw bales. This is a sport that all breeds and breed mixes enjoy! This program is offered exclusively at our Richardson location in our dedicated Barn Hunt Ring.

This four-week class is the perfect introduction to the sport for either handlers or dogs who are new to Barn Hunt.
