Rat Hunting Lessons

Come try this exciting scent work option! Your dog will learn to find a rat (enclosed in a tube or cage) hidden among a course of boxes and other objects. You will enjoy watching your dog use his nose and natural instincts in a safe environment.

Benefits

Dog works by himself - no requirement that he be well-behaved around other dogs
Dog uses his natural instincts and satisfies his need for exercise and enrichment
No requirement that the handler be in shape or quick
Relatively fast onboarding - dogs that like the sport are able to hunt and enjoy themselves within a few weeks
Dogs that are challenging from an obedience perspective may thrive in a sport that channels their drive and enthusiasm
