what is barn hunt?
Barn Hunt is a competitive dog sport in which dogs are able to act out their natural prey instincts in a safe and humane way. Domestic trained rats are placed in protective PVCu tubes and are hidden on a straw bale course. Dogs and handlers work together to beat the clock to find all the rats. Teams can earn titles and ribbons as well! Barn Hunt titles are recognized by the AKC. To learn more about this fun and growing sport, visit the Barn Hunt Association web page.
