What is barn hunt?

Barn hunt is a dog sport created in Columbia Missouri where dogs of all ages compete to find rats in safe aerated tubes. During a competition, a dog must climb all four feet on a bale of straw, go through a tunnel and find a designated number of rats. The rats are kept safe in hard PVC tubes. As dogs progress, each level gets more difficult. Learn more at barnhunt.com
