Private Rat Games/Barn Hunt Training

Private Rat Games/Barn Hunt Training - We cater our training to you and your dog to help introduce you or bring you to your the next level of your barn hunt game! We are here to diagnose and fix problems as they arise and get you back into the ring!

1.) Your dog MUST be friendly with people. For our safety, we do not allow dogs that are people shy with potential reactivity, or those where you aren't sure how your dog will react to having a stranger working with him/her. 

3.) You MUST follow all of the Rat Games and Barn Hunt rules on Rat safety. Our rats are our pets and we love them and want to ensure they are well taken care of while working with us. 

4.) This session is specifically for those wanting to work on Barn Hunt or Rat Games training. It is for newbies as well as seasoned teams needing to fix issues or wanting to practice their runs. 

5.) You may share your time with another dog/handler team. We ask that you limit your time to 4 dogs/handlers, as we have only a small waiting space outside of the ring. Note:* We suggest you book 1/2 hr for each dog just learning the sport, and still needing indication work or scent discrimination work. Once your dog has a good grasp of the sport and is already hunting and indicating, you may then consider sharing a 1/2 hr with another dog that is also already hunting and indicating. 

6.) This is a rain or shine session. However, if dangerous weather arrives (tornadoes, blizzard), we will need to re-schedule you to another day. 

7.) Please read our no refund policy. You must agree to the no refund policy before booking your session.

8.) Bring your own squishy (not crumbly) high value treats. This means things like cheese, hot dogs, etc. Nothing crumbly or that you have to break to use. Zukes treats are too crumbly, so be sure it's soft and can stick to the wall if you squished it. Also be sure your treats are super high value. If your dog is picky, bring steak or hamburger if you need to. 

9.) Please bring your dog on a slip lead, or buck collar and leash, or any other collar that is easily removed and put back on again. Please don't bring a pinch that takes a long time to remove or a harness. You will need to be able to remove equipment and put it back on easily and quickly. 

10.) There are no age requirements for your dog. Any puppies that have all their shots can come and learn to play the game. We just need to take our time and not have too high of expectations.
