Barn Hunt

Barn Hunt, as a competitive sport, is rapidly gaining popularity among dog enthusiasts across the nation. 

Lisa Wasielewski has dedicated over a decade to competing in various dog sports. For the past six years, she has also served as a judge in scent-based dog sports, bringing a wealth of experience and expertise to the field.  Lisa is certified as a Mantrailing Instructor and Assessor through Mantrailing Global.
 
As a recognized figure in the dog sports community, Lisa serves as a judge for several organizations and events. These include NASDA, the UKC Elite Shed Dog Series, UKC Nosework, and Detection Dog Trials. Her judging roles demonstrate her extensive knowledge and trusted reputation within the dog sport world.
 
Lisa is well-known for her strong background in scent-based sports and takes pride in her individualized approach to dog training. She emphasizes tailoring each dog’s training to suit their unique learning needs, which helps maximize their potential. With years of experience, Lisa skillfully utilizes a dog’s prey drive and focuses on enhancing their natural search drive as core components of her training methodology.
 
We are excited to welcome Lisa to All Dogs Sports Park as our Barn Hunt instructor. 

Barn Hunt utilizes a dog’s natural instinct to sniff out its prey while working   as a team with his human in a safe, controlled environment.  

The classes are limited in size so each team can work at its own pace and skill level.  Each class is two hour-long meeting once a week for six weeks as agreed upon.  There are no make-up classes or refunds. 

Live rats are used in training and competition; however, they are treated humanely. The containers are regulation-sized and designed for the comfort and safety of the rats.  The rats are friendly, domesticated and trained to understand they are completely safe inside the spacious containers.

Barn Hunt is open to dogs of any age or breed.  They are required to climb a bale of hay and maneuver through tunnels that are bail high.

Dogs must be up to date on vaccinations – Bordatella, DHLP, Canine Flu & Rabies vaccinations. If you are new to the facility, please bring copies of proof of vaccines.
