🐀🌾 Let the sniffing begin…
One of the newest experiences coming to this year’s Dog Festival is Barn Hunt, a sport designed to let dogs do what they do best: use their nose!
While humans love Wi-Fi… our canine companions are running on scent technology from another universe.
Barn Hunt gives dogs the opportunity to tap into their natural hunting instincts, search skills, problem solving, and confidence, all through scent work and exploration in a fun, safe environment.
And the best part?
You might be surprised which dogs become absolute detectives.
Tiny dogs. Big dogs. Fancy dogs. Chaos gremlins.
Turns out, noses don’t discriminate.
Join Tracy Wood with Canine Companion Training Academy as they set up a barn experience like no other!
