Locating Rats Classes

Locating rats is a fast growing sport that encourages your dog to use their senses to locate live rats secured inside PVC tubes. These tubes are then hidden in various locations within a ring of stacked straw bales. All dogs can learn to locate them, even if it isn’t part of their natural breed tendencies. Locating rats is a fun sport both you and your dog will enjoy!


All class levels will focus on reinforcing alerts, maintaining value for finding the rats, reading body language, and provide a better understanding of olfaction and odour behaviour.  Clearing and distance challenge exercises may also be added in at any level. 


All skills learned will easily transfer into many competitions designed to locate rats.

Those starting out will focus on introducing the dog to a rat, pairing the scent with reward, learning a climb and to tunnel. Focus will also be placed on discriminating between litter and empty tubes.
