BTAC Barn Hunt Workshop Suitable for partnerships who have attended a beginner's workshop and whose dogs are over 6 months and comfortable negotiating climb and simple tunnels. The afternoon course features different obstacles to further engage your dogs' noses and hunting instincts. We will build on existing knowledge, introduce new challenges, additional searches and work on trial skills too. IF you could not attend the morning session and your dog is a beginner, new to barn hunt, we can and will, change the teaching with each dog to ensure you can still experience barn hunt from beginner upwards. We are able to quickly change the layout to suit beginners, intermediates and opens alike. Reactive dog? No problem - secure barn area, all doors surrounding barn can be closed. One dog only allowed in barn. Safe crossover areas. All dogs on lead outside of the barn hunt area. In the UK we use DEAD rats, responsibly sourced from reptile feed suppliers. Rats are held in tubes which prevent you or your dog from seeing them.Read More

About your trainer - Kirsty Lewis (DTC-CDT)

"A trained dog is a happy dog" - this is a phrase I heard as a child. It has stuck with me and I believe it is as important now as it was in the 1970s. Training is fun. Training is life. Training gives our dogs the best chance in our modern world.

Helping others achieve a happy dog, confident in its own abilities and in the world around them is my training goal. Through dog sports and 121 manners training I continue to see my clients and their dogs' confidence grow and flourish. I use modern ethical training methods and encourage handlers to respect and work with the dog in front of them.

I train my own dogs and love competing in agility and hoopers. Everyday is a learning opportunity and my dogs and I have the best time developing our skills together and demonstrating such at various country shows throughout the year.

121 manners, life skills, obedience
