BARN HUNT
Barn Hunt is an exciting new sport where dogs get to use their natural instinct to “hunt” rats. A maze of straw bales is set up and there are PVC tubes hidden throughout the course – some with live rats, some with dirty bedding, and some empty. To put it simply – the aim of the game is for the dog to hunt through the straw to find all the live rat tubes. But don’t worry – the rats aren’t harmed in Barn Hunt.
