This event is all about having fun, building confidence, and letting dogs do what they love - hunt! Urban Barn Hunt brings the spirit of traditional Barn Hunt into a more relaxed, creative, indoor setting using everyday environments and obstacles.
This is an all-levels, all-fun event. Whether this is your dog’s very first time seeing a rat tube or you’ve got a seasoned hunter looking for something different, everyone is welcome. Searches will be designed to be approachable, engaging, and adaptable so teams can work at their own pace.
Expect a supportive, low-pressure atmosphere focused on teamwork, learning, and celebrating each dog’s unique strengths. Come ready to play, problem-solve, cheer each other on, and leave with a happy, tired dog.
