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

Benefits

  • 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

What is the difference between barn hunt and urban locating?

Barn hunt requires that the dog find the rat in a course built of straw or hay. Urban locating asks the dog to find the rat indoors, usually in boxes, furniture, or other receptacles.

Daycare Plus Rat Lessons

Barn hunt and urban locating may be purchased as enrichment add-on options to your dog's daycare experience. You do not have to be present -- we will send you video.

After scheduling a day of daycare, select Enrichment, then Rats ($40/half hour).
