Have you heard of the new sport of Barn Hunting? It’s only a few years old but is now the fastest growing dog sport in the US. It’s open to all breeds of dogs, and is fun for dog and owner alike.
In Barn Hunting, dogs search for one or more rats that are hidden safely in tubes, which are hidden in bales of hay. The dog must find the correct number of rats in a set amount of time.
Barn hunting draws on a dog’s natural instincts that are combined with learned skills such as alerting and communicating with the handler. If you are interested, find out more by going to their website: Barn Hunt Association or Watch the Video
